  • Safety & Compliance (HSE): Enforce rigorous health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards on site. Ensure all site personnel and partners comply with local Estonian railway safety regulations and company policies
  • Progress Tracking & Reporting: Monitor site progress against the master schedule, identify potential bottlenecks or delays early, and implement corrective actions. Provide regular status updates to the Project Manager
  • Quality Control & Documentation: Ensure that installation and testing documentation is meticulously maintained, verified, and signed off in accordance with project and regulatory requirements

What we expect from you:

  • Proven experience as a Site Manager, Construction Manager, or Project Engineer within the railway infrastructure sector—specifically with railway signalling

    • Fluent in English (written and spoken) for internal reporting and international partner collaboration
    • Fluent in Estonian or Russian (written and spoken) for local stakeholder, partner, and site-level communication. (Bilingual in Estonian and Russian is a strong advantage)

What we offer:

  • An impactful role in shaping modern railway infrastructure in the Baltics
  • Collaboration with international experts in a cutting-edge technological environment
  • Competitive compensation and professional development opportunities within Siemens Mobility
