Top Insider Advice

Tell your manager and colleagues what you want to learn more about or which skills you wish to improve. They may be able to assign you tasks that align with your interests and supporting your personal development plan. Knowing your preferences, strengths and weaknesses makes it easier for you to ask for help when needed. Sharing your questions, and supporting on answers, creates an openness that enables dialogue and exchange of experiences, giving everyone an opportunity to grow.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I get highly motivated when I get to work in a team that is driven by curiosity, collaboration and technical creativity! Trains attract engineers of all ages, and there is always more to learn and new technology & tools available.

Greatest achievements

A strong memory for me is when I was part of a validation team on a train in the north of France. It was a great experience, and nervous, to test train in real life! The supervision software and tests met the requirements, and the software package could be rolled out across the train fleet on time.

It is amazing how the technology is evolving every year, even month. New technologies are always arising and making our lifes easier. What's really important is the need to be aware of this technologies and to be always thinking if these technologies can be applied to the business. This is really important, a new technology correctly applied to a train, fleet, etc. can be the game changer to win a contract. Most of the customers are not yet aware of the power of cloud computing, IoT, AI's etc. It's our job to take advantage of it and propose solutions they've never dreamt of.

In a world where we’re often told to be ourselves, not many of us actually are. My best advice is to genuinely strive to be authentic. It can be difficult and scary, but at the end of the day, we need voices that dare to stand out. That said, be mindful of how you use AI... it’s easy to point out when someone relies too heavily on it. So, when applying for a job or sending emails, use AI primarily as a grammar and spelling check rather than as the main thing! I love to meet the real you soon!

Your knowledge and your skills are not only what you learnt at school or your previous job, but it is the mix all the experiences you've had. Therefore be curious on the world around you, and catch what helps you to grow and develop as real person. Be honest and show how you really are, and prompt and flexible adapting to the situation, but also staying tuned on your values.
