More than a job: a mission

We’re looking for a Material Planner to keep production line running. This is high‑stakes Supply Chain: securing just-in-time material flows. 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

• Managing Purchase Requisitions until Material Planning document creation for internal suppliers

• Following up with Procurement on Purchase Requisition maturity for external suppliers

• Ensuring and updating the accuracy of material planning master data in compliance with stock and logistic constraints

• Creating and updating Material Planning documents (Call-off, Schedule Agreement) and their respective Source List and Quota Management

• Communicating delivery plans and purchase orders to suppliers and following up on their confirmations

• Analyzing supplier confirmations versus Alstom needs and evaluating risks/impacts on production/projects

• Identifying priorities, setting up recovery actions, and organizing regular reviews with suppliers to monitor delivery performance

• Managing MRP exception messages and anticipating supply problems

• Resolving Goods Receipts issues and following up on non-conformities with Procurement Officers

• Communicating OTIF (On-Time In-Full) results with suppliers and driving improvement

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