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

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (Project Core Team, Customer Director, Support Functions), define project strategies, and lead project activities from transfer to close-out, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of project governance and stakeholder coordination, but also ensure compliance with applicable standards and proactively manage risks and opportunities.

• Defining project strategies and aligning objectives with contract requirements.
• Leading and coordinating project activities and stakeholders, including resource management and team leadership.
• Ensuring alignment with customer contractual requirements and managing variation orders.
• Proactively managing risks, savings, and opportunities to optimize project outcomes.
• Representing the project to Alstom management and external stakeholders with transparency and professionalism.

• Master’s degree or bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
• 5 years of experience as a sub-system/component manager, qualified project manager, or manager of an operational scope, with a total of at least 15 years of professional experience in Rolling Stock (RS).
• Experience working in and with multinational companies and across diverse business cultures.
• Knowledge of project management processes and railway products and systems.
• Strong skills in team management, communication, and negotiation.
• Leadership, entrepreneurial mindset, and a results-oriented approach.
• IPMA Level C certification (or equivalent) is desirable.
• Familiarity with Alstom’s way of working for efficient process execution is a plus.
