About the Opportunity:
Your future role
Take on a new challenge and apply your technical and analytical expertise in a cutting-edge field as an Engineering Bid Manager within the Integrated Services Readiness. You'll play a key role in shaping competitive, profitable, and customer-focused bids that align with Alstom's mission to deliver smarter mobility solutions.
Day-to-day, you'll work closely with teams across the business such as Metier leaders and Tender leaders, gather data from existing projects, and contribute to the creation of technical and cost-effective solutions. You'll specifically take care of building cost models for ISR deliverables, such as Maintenance, Technical Publications, and Training, but also ensure the integration of Return on Experience (REX) into the bid process.
We'll look to you for:
- Costing ISR deliverables, including Maintenance, Technical Publications, Training, Special Tools, Spares, and Obsolescence
- Performing Risk & Opportunities evaluations for each tender
- Establishing strategies for ISR deliverables under TSSSA offers
- Representing ISR in front of the bid team
- Providing weekly progress reports on rolling stock and services projects to the ISR Director
- Optimising the use of Best Cost Country (BCC) in bids
- Ensuring feedback from maintenance projects is incorporated into future bids
- Identifying technical risks and ensuring they are covered by a dedicated action plan
- Supporting the Bid Manager during customer negotiations, identifying any technical changes during that phase
- Defining technical solutions for design tenders such as Asset Life Management (ALM), promoting the use of Alstom standard solutions
- Performing smooth transitions between tender phases and project execution
What You'll Bring:
We value passion and attitude over experience. That's why we don't expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we've listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:
- Engineering degree, recognised engineering apprenticeship, or equivalent experience
- 2-3 years of experience in a technical role, preferably in railway systems or application engineering
- Knowledge of applicable Services business
- Experience with Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Systems Applications and Products (SAP), and Business Intelligence/Business Objects (BI/BO)
- Bilingual proficiency in French and English (knowledge of a third language is an asset)
