Job description

Req ID:504578

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.

Could you be the full‑time Project Manager for Costing/VOs/RAMP/SAMP in St Bruno, QC that we are looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and leverage your expertise in project management and process oversight in a cutting‑edge field. You will work with a collaborative, dynamic, and results‑oriented team, playing a key role in optimizing project performance while maintaining strategic relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

On a daily basis, you will work closely with company teams (site directors, business unit leaders, participating units, project core team), oversee processes related to Variation Orders (VOs) and risk and opportunity management (RAMP/SAMP), and contribute to maximizing the margin generated by Alstom in project execution.

You will be particularly responsible for coordinating cost estimates for client proposals and driving risk and opportunity management initiatives, as well as implementing and monitoring associated tools.

We will rely on you to:

• Lead the Variation Orders (VOs) process in response to requests or contractual scope changes.
• Maintain a list of ongoing cost estimates and coordinate the preparation and submission of estimates to the client.
• Collaborate with the client to identify and justify contractual deviations in connection with the project director.
• Manage the risk and opportunity process (RAMP/SAMP) to preserve and improve project margin.
• Define methods and levels of detail for compiling risks and opportunities.
• Implement associated tools and lead general initiatives with internal teams and participating units.
• Ensure accurate and regular reporting on activities related to risks, opportunities, and variation orders.
• Work closely with site directors and business unit leaders to ensure optimal project execution.

We value passion and mindset more than experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have all the skills. Instead, we’ve listed those that we believe will help you succeed and thrive in this role:

• Degree in engineering, project management, or a related field.
• Experience or understanding of project management processes, particularly in cost and risk management.

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to interact with diverse stakeholders.
• Ability to analyze, structure, and synthesize complex information.
• Autonomy, proactivity, and ability to work as part of a team.
• Bilingual English/French.

What you will enjoy

Join us for a new life experience—the rail sector is a future‑oriented industry, so you can grow and acquire new skills and experiences throughout your career. You will also:

• Benefit from stability, challenges, and a long‑term career without daily routine.
• Work with multicultural and multidisciplinary teams dedicated to excellence.
