Mechanical Design Domain Leader

Date: 19 Oct 2025

Company: Alstom

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your mechanical engineering and leadership expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside dynamic and collaborative teammates.

You’ll play a pivotal role in managing and developing the Mechanical Integration team, ensuring the deployment of QMS and the corresponding Métier Technical Referential for the Mechanical Integration domain on-site. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as Technical Design, Central Engineering, and Workload Management), oversee the team’s workload, and ensure the successful delivery of projects and programs.

You’ll specifically take care of defining mitigation plans for identified risks and validating technical documents, but also supporting the team in resolving challenges and ensuring continuous improvement.

We’ll look to you for:

Ensuring understanding and application of TD rules, processes, and tools for the Mechanical Integration domain

Fostering effective collaboration with other domains within TD

Allocating adequate resources to projects/programs/tenders

Managing the development of the Mechanical Integration team to ensure capacity, workload, and skills alignment

Forecasting workload and identifying necessary resources to secure QCD commitments

Defining and implementing mitigation plans for identified risks

Supporting the team in resolving issues and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders

Reporting on activities and alerting relevant stakeholders to potential challenges

Validating technical documents such as 3D models and 2D assembly drawings

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master of Science preferred)

7+ years of experience in mechanical engineering applied to structural systems

Detailed knowledge of structural design, calculation, and special processes

General knowledge of train mechanical architecture, interface management, crash, mechanical integration, system engineering, materials, and project management (quality, cost, delay)

Proficiency in MS Office tools

Fluency in French and English. Knowledge of additional languages is an asset when working with international partners, suppliers, colleagues, and customers

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Conflict resolution and customer satisfaction orientation

Organized, rigorous, and adaptable with a hands‑on approach

Resilient and able to lead a team effectively
