Alstom's internal learning videos and courses are a good way to get an overview of a new topic, process or even a new language. In addition, a lot of new things are learned from experiences of other colleagues and during your own work - learning by doing! Try to pick up what is going on besides your own scope, exchange ideas during during a meeting or lunch time and ask questions. So, see you in the cantine?

What do you like about your job and the company?

Contribute to the development and innovative solutions during offer and project phase, testing the first built trains, then seeing them in everyday service, the big picture here is my main motivation. During everyday work, I like to face new challenges and getting things done within a supportive and inspiring environment. Is this a working environment you also like to join?

Greatest achievements

During my time as a working student at Alstom I wrote my master thesis in a cooperation with the German Aerospace Center about enhancing the battery train operation in winter with heat storages. With this work we applied to the Clean Mobility Award and won. It was a big event in the evening before Innotrans 2022 in Berlin, with two other prizewinners we met inspiring people within the rail industry, therof the German transport minister, which set the start of our networking possibilities. Another inspiring colleague advised me to also apply to the Austrian women rail industry award. I was then invited to Vienna with a prize to take home. None of this would be possible without the intensive support of my colleagues.

In my daily activities I encourage my colleagues to build a network in our team. Learning something about people that are in your professional network can help in creating strongest relations and a friendly job environment. You can start with active listening, make sure to spend time and have a chat with your colleagues regarding their issues, their hobbies, their life and about what they love to do. In this way you have chance to work in a team, where the communication is easy and you could be able to better understand people behaviour.

Top Insider Advice

Nowadays, we live in an environment that is constantly changing and we have to adapt ourselves to live in uncertainty. My main advice, is that you should not be afraid to accept challenges. Impostor syndrome and the fear of change often does not allow us to express our maximum potential and often keeps us from develop professionally as much as we would like. As we say in Spain, "you have to take the bull by the horns" to be able to move forward and be happy.
