Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your planning and organizing expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside professional and dedicated teammates.

You'll manage and coordinate our fleet management activities, making a tangible impact on the availability and efficiency of our train operations. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (project management, engineering, industrial, quality, and various support functions), provide support to our local teams, maintain the link with our central teams, and much more.

• Maintaining communication with depots to ensure train availability for traffic schedules.
• Monitoring and reporting special situations in train circulation and managing related SAP entries.
• Analyzing daily train park performance and ensuring availability indicators align with maintenance contracts.
• Collaborating with the client to make decisions regarding traffic-related challenges.
• Tracking and recording train mileage, including passenger and test train routes.
• Supporting departments such as Operations, Engineering, Sourcing, and Logistics to achieve organizational goals.
• Taking on Depot Manager responsibilities in their absence.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in operations, logistics, or maintenance activities.
• Experience in rolling stock maintenance (a plus).
• Proficiency in MS Office, SAP, Word, and Excel.
• Advanced English language skills.
