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 Process Industrial Quality Manager (Fixed Term Contract) to ensure product quality compliance with customer and internal requirements, deploying industrial quality standards across manufacturing processes.
You’ll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication - because they know what’s at stake: the journey home.

 

 

Your role, your impact

• Manage Industrial Quality activities across people, processes, and performance
• Analyze Defects per Unit (DpU) and external demerits to drive line quality improvements
• Support GO / NO GO decisions and hold veto right in critical situations
• Stop production when required for safety or quality reasons
• Contribute to Criticality Matrix and Process FMEA analyses
• Lead FAR activities and participate in FMR / SMR reviews
• Implement and update Quality Control Plans during pre-serial and serial phases
• Manage internal NCRs and support their closure using problem-solving methodologies (e.g. QRQC)
• Participate in customer inspections, audits, and First Article Inspections (FAI)
• Perform workstation audits and ensure proper self-inspection practices

 

 

You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, operations and design - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

 

 

What you bring

• Degree in Engineering (mechanical, electrical, industrial, or similar)
• Experience in industrial quality and continuous improvement tools (Lean, Six Sigma, problem solving)
• Strong knowledge of industrial processes and quality standards (ISO9001)
• Ability to read drawings and technical specifications
• Experience managing teams (for Manager level)
• Fluent English and international mindset
• Ability to work in matrix environments and under pressure
• Strong communication skills, rigor, and team spirit

 

 

How success is measured

• Reduction of Defects per Unit (DpU) and external demerits
• Improvement of First Pass Yield (FPY)
• Reduction of Cost of Non-Quality (CONQ)
• Achievement of APSYS Industrial Quality targets (Q09–Q13)

 

 

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.
