Position Overview
The Senior Rolling Stock Engineer at Sener UAE is a high-seniority technical leadership role covering the full engineering lifecycle of Rolling Stock systems on large-scale Metro and Rail projects. You will lead and coordinate Rolling Stock engineering activities across design and delivery phases — reviewing designs, technical specifications, system requirements, drawings, calculations, and supplier documentation — while managing the critical interfaces between Rolling Stock and the full suite of railway systems including Traction Power, Signalling, Telecommunications, SCADA, Track, Civil, and MEP infrastructure.
This is a role that requires both deep technical mastery of Rolling Stock systems, equipment, and railway operational requirements and the senior engineering leadership capability to guide multidisciplinary teams, represent Rolling Stock engineering in cross-system design reviews, and drive technical compliance across supplier submissions and installation activities. With preferred exposure to complex automated railway systems, major metro or rail projects, and GCC infrastructure experience, the Senior Rolling Stock Engineer at Sener sits at the technical heart of some of the UAE’s most ambitious rail infrastructure programmes — shaping the engineering quality of systems that will carry millions of passengers safely for decades to come.
Why This Senior Rolling Stock Engineer Role at Sener Is Exceptional: Rolling Stock is the most visible, operationally critical, and technically complex element of any metro or rail system — and the engineer who leads Rolling Stock technical coordination across its interfaces with Traction Power, Signalling, SCADA, and Civil infrastructure is the professional who determines whether all these systems work together seamlessly in service. At Sener, on large-scale UAE metro and rail projects, that responsibility comes with genuine engineering authority, end-to-end project ownership, a hybrid working model that respects professional autonomy, and the career-defining satisfaction of seeing the rolling stock systems you engineered carrying passengers through one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
