Power Supply Technical Leader

Req ID:517408 

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."

We’ll look to you for:

• Lead MV/LV Traction Engineering: Ensure project implementation aligns with Design for Quality standards; propose solutions for performance and reliability.
• Perform Engineering Activities: Handle basic and detailed engineering for HV, MV, LV power supply and DC traction systems.
• Develop Technical Documentation: Prepare electrical architectures, technical, functional, and interface specifications; conduct clause-by-clause reviews and gap analysis.
• Prepare Calculation Notes: Short circuit, cable sizing, power balance, power factor study, UPS and battery sizing, earthing, protection coordination, MCB coordination, and basic structural calculations.
• Manage Interfaces: Identify and manage interfaces between power supply subsystems and other project subsystems.
• Allocate Requirements: Perform transverse requirement allocations in collaboration with specialists; develop requirements from standards, certifications, safety, and customer specifications.
• Supplier Coordination: Work closely with DC traction equipment suppliers; define architecture, operational modes, and functionalities; write subsystem specifications.
• Provide Project Support: Deliver method statements, testing procedures, and training as required.
• Procurement & Validation: Write technical purchasing specifications, evaluate supplier offers, validate documents, define standards, and participate in factory acceptance tests.
• Verification & Validation (V&V): Define and execute verification strategies with engineering, certification, and validation teams.
• Site Issue Resolution: Investigate and resolve technical issues at site, implement modifications, and ensure problem closure.
• Provide technical support to Construction and Testing & Commissioning teams; participate in site testing and commissioning when required.
• Perform project-level KPI reporting and métier-level reporting (via weekly reports).
• Support the PrEM in implementing and updating engineering risk mitigation plans, managing change orders, optimizing QCD, and participating in design reviews.

Coordinate and manage interfaces with:

• Regional and central engineering teams/experts
• Other subsystems (Systems, RAMS, EMC, Procurement, Civil Works, etc.)
• Customer representatives
• Project management team
• Suppliers, subcontractors, and partners

All About You 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:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in electrical engineering and Rail Electrification & Traction Power Systems. 
• At least 10 years of professional experience in railway transportation engineering.
• Preferably experienced in MV network sizing using tools such as ETAP or SKM.
• Preferably experienced in MV cable sizing using tools such as ETAP or CYMCAP.
• Strong knowledge of electrical installation, testing, and commissioning (HV, MV, LV systems)
• Proficient in AutoCAD; basic knowledge of BIM, Revit, and Navisworks preferred
• Self-motivated, autonomous, proactive, and technically driven.
• Fluent in English.

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto 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!
