Banedanmark Safety & Interoperability Coordinator – Railway Safety in the Signalling Programme

Be part of something big! Leave your mark on the future climate-friendly and digital railway.

Do you want to navigate at the intersection of compliance, risk management, and technology? Would you like to contribute to making Denmark’s railway safer? Are you able to balance multiple tasks simultaneously and thrive in a cross-disciplinary working environment? Then you might be the S&I Coordinator we are looking for.

At Banedanmark, we are currently replacing the entire railway signalling system with a modern digital system. Denmark is the first country in Europe to roll out digital signalling systems across the entire national railway network, making it the largest IT project in Danish history

You manage risks with confidence and collaborate on CSM and TSI across the organization

As an S&I Coordinator, you will be part of a team of other S&I Coordinators and Safety Managers working with CSM-RA (Common Safety Methods for Risk Assessment) and TSI (Technical Specifications for Interoperability). The experience level in the team ranges from a few years in the industry to more than 20 years of railway safety experience.

Your primary responsibilities will be to

• Be responsible for preparing and reviewing CSM and TSI documentation
• Ensure delivery of S&I project deliverables
• Assist individual projects and colleagues with the various approval processes related to the implementation of CSM and TSI
• Ensure the necessary professional input into the risk management process
• Participate in hazard workshops where relevant risks for each project are identified

Experience, technical understanding, and collaboration skills.

You have an education in a relevant field and may either have a few years of work experience or be a recent graduate. The most important factor is that you are willing to acquire new knowledge in risk management.

It is an advantage if you are familiar with ETCS, but if not, you have the ability and interest to learn about the system’s technical components and functionality.

Your collaboration skills will be important, as you will work with both internal and external partners. We offer an international working environment, so it is important that you speak and write English fluently and understand cultural differences.

In addition, it is important that you can work proactively and thrive in an environment where there are periods of high workload. During such periods, you must be able to prioritize the most important tasks and work in a structured and organized manner. In other periods, there will be time and capacity for deeper focus and professional development.

About the Department

The Onboard team focuses on safety related to the modification of rolling stock, while the Trackside team, which you will join, focuses on infrastructure.

We place strong emphasis on professional knowledge sharing, collaboration on tasks, and professionalism. At the same time, there is room for humor, and we value a supportive and collegial working environment. We also prioritize maintaining a flexible and balanced workplace, where you will work with a high degree of autonomy and influence when planning your own working life.
