About Us

A career at Hitachi Rail will help create a legacy. With operations in every corner of the world, our work goes to the cutting-edge of digital transformation and technology. From the multi-cultural strength of our global organisation to the sustainable and innovative ways we work to bring people together, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into. And that’s where you come in.

About the Project

In 2012, Banedanmark—the Danish rail infrastructure authority—awarded a consortium of Hitachi and Strukton Rail the contract to modernize the signalling systems across Jutland (Western Denmark). This effort covers approximately 1,200 km (around 60%) of Denmark’s railway network, transitioning it to the European standard ETCS Level 2 System.

Hitachi has since led the design and implementation of this transformation, in collaboration with partners in Germany and the Netherlands. Internally known as the F-Bane Project, this major initiative is currently moving into its maintenance phase.

You will work in close coordination with colleagues in Germany, local engineers, and Banedanmark to implement secure and reliable IT network solutions. Regular collaboration with the maintenance team and customer stakeholders will be a key part of your responsibilities.
