Job description

The Context

Alstom, a global leader in rail transportation with 80,000+ colleagues across 63 countries, is looking for a Logistics Engineer to join its project team in Riyadh. The role focuses on designing and optimizing logistics flows for large-scale rail infrastructure projects — working across suppliers, participating Alstom units, and construction teams to ensure seamless operations from project start through delivery.

What The Role Covers

Warehouse Design & Material Flow Definition

You design the project warehouse to meet operational needs and define material and information flows at the start of the project. You ensure logistics concepts are structured correctly from day one, preventing downstream disruptions during construction and delivery phases.

Supply Chain & Planning Optimization

You collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize supply chain and planning activities, applying knowledge of international and local material flow optimization. You support the continuous improvement of logistics processes to align with project and business objectives.

Team Development & HSE Compliance

You develop and provide appropriate training for team members to enhance skills and performance, and drive a culture of resilience, adaptability, and continuous learning within the logistics team. You ensure adherence to Health, Safety, and Environmental policies across all logistics activities.

Candidate Profile

• Degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• Experience or understanding of logistics specifications and supply chain processes
• Knowledge of international and local material flow optimization
• Proficiency in ERP, WMS, or logistics planning tools
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Adaptability and resilience in dynamic project environments
• Passion and attitude valued over purely technical experience — Alstom explicitly welcomes candidates who don't tick every box

Why This Role Stands Out - Supply Tech Nexus Take

Alstom is delivering some of the most ambitious rail and metro projects in the GCC — including active programs across Saudi Arabia as part of Vision 2030's massive public transport infrastructure push. A Logistics Engineer role on a major KSA rail project gives you direct exposure to large-scale project supply chain design from the ground up, a genuinely rare experience that accelerates career progression toward Senior Logistics Engineer or Supply Chain Manager roles in the infrastructure and industrial sectors. The international career mobility Alstom explicitly offers — across functions and countries — adds meaningful long-term value beyond the role itself.

Salary Benchmark - KSA Market (2024/2025)

• Base salary: SAR 14,000 - 22,000/month

Alstom's compensation framework includes comprehensive social coverage covering life insurance, medical, and pension — a structured benefits package that is above average for the KSA engineering sector.
