Are you a dynamic and motivated individual looking for a new opportunity? WMATA's Signals Maintenance team is currently seeking an ATC Assistant Superintendent to join our team. In this position, you will lead a group of supervisors and technicians responsible for evaluating, testing, commissioning, and maintaining the components and systems of our Automatic Train Control (ATC) signaling system.
As the Assistant Superintendent, your main responsibilities will include reviewing and approving train control preventive maintenance and inspections (PMI), engineering modifications (EMI), and temporary configurations plans (TCP), along with their associated test data.
