The F-Bane Programme is a landmark project driven by Banedanmark, focused on upgrading Denmark’s railway network by introducing the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2. This modernisation effort is being delivered in the western part of the country by a Joint Venture between Hitachi Rail GTS Denmark and Strukton.

Our goal? Replace outdated analogue signalling systems with cutting-edge digital solutions - improving safety, increasing capacity, and enabling more reliable and punctual train service across Jutland. This is a key step in Denmark’s journey to becoming a global frontrunner in sustainable, intelligent rail transport.

As a Solution Architect, you’ll take a pivotal role in shaping the technical direction and implementation of ETCS L2. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, system architecture, and project execution - collaborating with internal design teams, Hitachi subsidiaries, suppliers, and partners.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys connecting high-level strategy with practical implementation and thrives in a diverse, international environment where teamwork, structure, and creativity coexist.
