More Than a Job: A Mission

We are looking for a passionate Material Planning Leader to drive operational excellence and ensure the seamless flow of materials that power our mobility solutions. You will collaborate with dedicated teams to optimize supply chain performance and deliver reliability that moves cities forward.

Your Role, Your Impact

  • Lead end-to-end material planning processes to ensure scalability and alignment with production schedules.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including procurement, logistics, and engineering to maintain synchronized operations.
  • Implement reliability-driven planning tools such as SAP MRP and Lean methodologies to minimize shortages and delays.
  • Drive innovation in forecasting and inventory optimization through data analytics and digital planning systems.
  • Foster knowledge sharing and continuous improvement across planning teams to strengthen organizational capability.
You'll work with sharp, committed teams solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility, ensuring seamless integration of business and technology.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor degree in Business Administration or Engineering or Supply Chain.
  • Proficiency in SAP ERP or similar material management systems.
  • Strong understanding of supply chain optimization and demand forecasting techniques.
  • Experience applying Lean or Six Sigma principles to improve planning efficiency.
  • Ability to interpret data using tools like Power BI or Excel for decision-making.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills to align global and local priorities.

How Success Is Measured

  • On-time delivery of materials supporting production and project milestones.
  • Effective collaboration across departments ensuring smooth supply chain execution.
  • Reduction in material shortages and improved inventory accuracy through proactive planning.

Alstom, A Great Place to Grow

  • Work with advanced digital planning tools driving the future of rail supply chains.
  • Contribute to global mobility projects with tangible local impact in Cairo.
  • Access continuous learning and career development through Alstom’s global network.
Here, progress isn't always easy but the impact is real. Because the scale is massive, the tasks are complex when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step into one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
