About the role
At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can't afford to fail. We're more than 85,000 people worldwide creating the industry's most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.
More than a job: a mission
We're looking for a Bid Technical Manager (ONB) to lead the technical strategy and engineering coordination of onboard signalling tenders. You will play a key role in shaping winning technical proposals, managing engineering contributions, and ensuring customer requirements are transformed into robust and competitive solutions.
You'll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication - because they know what's at stake: the journey home.
What you'll do
• Lead and coordinate the engineering team assigned to onboard signalling tenders
• Analyse customer requirements, identify gaps versus reference products, and define optimal technical solutions
• Manage technical interfaces with customers and conduct technical clarification meetings
• Assess technical risks and ensure mitigation plans are aligned with engineering teams and platforms
• Establish engineering commitments related to quality, cost, delivery, planning, and risk management
• Prepare and validate technical documentation and engineering assumptions for tender submissions
You'll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, project management and bid management - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.
What we're looking for
• Engineering degree or equivalent technical background
• 3-5 years of experience in signalling projects
• Project management experience or strong leadership capabilities
• Experience working with cross-functional and multidisciplinary teams
• Rail industry experience is highly valued
• Fluent English communication skills
• French language skills are desirable
How success is measured
• Quality, accuracy and competitiveness of tender engineering deliverables
• Effective management of technical risks and engineering assumptions
• On-time completion of engineering commitments and tender milestones
• Successful collaboration with customers, bid teams and engineering stakeholders
Additional information
• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects
• Utilise our cooperative working environment
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage
Here, progress isn't always easy - the scale is massive, the tasks are complex - but the impact is real. Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects - that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
