Power Supply Project Engineering Manager (PrEM)

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.

Your future role "Take on a new challenge and apply your engineering and project management expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside innovative, dedicated, and collaborative teammates. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of transportation by performing the basic and detailed power supply engineering activities of a traction project (metro, tramway, or mainline). Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (including civil and MEP partners/contractors), manage all the Power Supply interfaces with local utility, and much more."
