Job Title: Project Safety Assurance Manager
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 Project Safety Assurance Manager to ensure that the safety of our signalling solutions is embedded throughout every stage of the project lifecycle. This is a critical role focused on delivering safe, compliant and reliable railway systems that keep passengers and cities moving. 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
- Coordinate all Safety Assurance activities throughout signalling projects
- Define Safety Plans and manage safety workload, priorities and planning
- Perform safety analyses, manage Hazard Logs and review design, V&V and testing activities from a safety perspective
- Build Safety Reports and Safety Cases in line with project requirements and standards
- Defend Safety Case argumentation with internal and external assessors and drive closure of findings
- Provide technical leadership and guidance across project phases, from tender through commissioning and warranty
- Ensure compliance with CENELEC standards and safety assurance methodologies
- Lead and support Safety Assurance Engineers assigned to project.
You'll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, project management and system delivery - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.
How success is measured
- Quality, completeness and timeliness of safety deliverables
- Effective management of safety risks and compliance with applicable standards
- Successful assessment outcomes and closure of safety findings
- Contribution to project milestones through proactive safety leadership
- Collaboration, coaching and support provided to project teams and safety engineers
Alstom, a great place to grow
- 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.
