Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your project management expertise in a dynamic and collaborative environment. You’ll report to Roberto and work alongside his professional and dedicated teammates.

You'll play a pivotal role in managing and coordinating the execution of the Desiro 5-year maintenance project, ensuring it meets contractual requirements and exceeds customer expectations.

You’ll specifically take care of executing the Desiro 5-year maintenance project plan and providing operational support to the bid and project teams, but also take the lead in strengthening customer relationships and ensuring alignment with contractual requirements.

• Ownership of the Project Management Work Package (WP) and accountability for all related activities.
• Defining project strategy in line with contract requirements, including PMP elaboration and objectives allocation to sub-systems (planning, cost, quality, performance).
• Leading and coordinating project activities and stakeholders from transfer to close-out, ensuring proper transfer from tender to project and alignment with project objectives.
• Managing resources effectively, including defining project core team staffing and escalating when resource availability does not match project needs.
• Leading and engaging project teams, including core teams and project managers of internal and external partners, to ensure alignment and achievement of goals.
• Proactively managing risks, savings, and opportunities, as well as handling variation orders, contract management, and claims if needed.
• Ensuring compliance with applicable rules, instructions, and standards, including ethics, EHS, railway safety, and project management guidelines.
• Representing the project to senior management and external stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment with customer expectations.
