Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your comprehensive industrial engineering expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside innovative, dedicated, and collaborative teammates.

You'll lead the industrialization of retrofit activities at the depot, ensuring the deliverables are met with excellence. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (including engineering, supply chain, and quality), streamline processes, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of simulating and designing tools, jigs, and fixtures, as well as elaborating and defining the required industrial deliverables. But also, you will contribute to continuous improvement and team development.

We’ll look to you for:

• Leading the retrofit of technical documentation in line with company standards, respecting standard manufacturing processes and manufacturing line guidelines.

• Elaborating, creating, defining, and stabilizing the industrial deliverables for retrofit, such as FMI/work instructions, BOM, task sequence/standard operating sheets, and workstation implantations.

• Defining and implementing training plans for industrial and retrofit topics.

• Simulating and designing tools, jigs, and fixtures in CATIA, and updating these as required.

• Providing inputs to industrial means and tools requirements for retrofit activities.

• Ensuring railway safety, EHS, and AZDP standards are respected.

• Validating designs by taking into account industrial constraints in concurrent engineering with the design team.

• Setting up industrial process improvements for retrofit activities related to efficiency, quality, safety, and ergonomics.

• Adapting industrial processes and deliverables to project lifecycle events such as design changes, obsolescence, fleet extensions, and maintenance plan optimizations.

• Contributing to design reviews, root cause analyses, and the control change board to reduce non-quality or improve safety and operational performance.

• Developing industrial expertise, capitalizing on lessons learned, and sharing industrial standards.

• Analyzing tooling requests and proposing adequate solutions.

• Maintaining KPIs and deliverables within targets.

• Validating and tracking industrial deliverables, tools, and means with maintenance execution teams.

• Supporting the implementation of APSYS subjects related to the industrial roadmap.
