What we do

When working at TÜV SÜD in the area of Railway and Transportation Systems or Amusement Rides, you make sure that things run smoothly, literally speaking. Ensuring the quality of, for example, public vehicles, cable cars and amusement park facilities is no job to be taken lightly – the highest level of safety must be provided. 

Within your area of expertise, you will make transportation systems safer for the people and goods they move around. We do this by inspecting, testing and certifying technology such as high speed, metro and light rail, or by providing operators and authorities with the right training. 

Our work may include the testing of operations and their maintenance, as well as that of prototypes. We authenticate vehicle types and series, check operational facilities, and audit controls and software. We also provide risk analysis and programmers and support our customers in the introduction of new technologies, materials and methods across markets. 

If you have a stomach for heights and love to travel the world, our amusement rides services might be for you. TÜV SÜD has been the expert for all types of amusement rides for over 100 years. Our specialists accompany and advise developers, designers, manufacturers and operators from the first plans to the finished installation all over the world. At TÜV SÜD, experts like you intensively familiarise themselves with complex systems and cover a wide range of technically demanding topics at national and international level. 

Depending on the role, an engineering degree with relevant business experience is the first step to joining us. If you think you would be the right fit, we would like to see your application! 

Who we are looking for

Leading the Digital Revolution

Engineers & Specialists
Our work in the fields of Railway, Transportation Systems and Amusement Rides offers the ideal choice if you are a graduate who has completed an engineering degree in the field of electrical engineering: “mechatronics”, or mechanical engineering with a hands-on mentality.

Several years of relevant business experience are also often a requirement.
 
Forward Thinkers

    Riyadh Winter Wonderland

    Inspired by London’s annual Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, Riyadh, Saudia Arabia decided to organise their own festive fun. 42 amusement rides, from small children's rides, to classic roundabouts, to the famous Power Tower from Munich’s Oktoberfest, and the Double Looping, one of the world’s largest transportable roller coasters, were purchased, reviewed, pre-inspected, shipped from Europe, installed, and inspected. They even brought over the Wonderland’s famous 55m-high Ferris wheel. The festival site lies opposite King Abdullah Financial District and covers 200,000 square metres.

    During the entire process, we were onsite as safety consultants, looking over everything according to the latest standards. We conducted a pre-evaluation of the selection of rides and a pre-inspection to uncover any technical issues that may compromise safety before and after the rides were shipped.
