PURPOSE OF THE JOB
- Responsible to lead the Sub-system mtier for a cluster / country in charge to manage several sub-systems within the same Project and/or the same Sub-system as part of several different Projects.
- Responsible for the management and successful completion of cross-functional activities leading to the delivery of one or more complex project sub-system in a High or Mediumcritical project, fulfilling both customer needs and committed Quality Cost Delivery Performance (QCDP) objectives. Manage cross-functionally sub-system level stakeholders, activities and deliverables and make needed arbitration (engineering, product x process, Make or Buy, Costs, Milestones, Interfaces, ) to reach QCDP commitment.
- Coordinate sub-system activities with other project stakeholders including integration teams other sub-systems and project level functions.

MAIN RESPONSABILITIES
1/ Contribute to successful Project execution on allocated sub-system scope of work:
- Apply Project Strategy according to defined contractual and Project commitments and targets, as allocated on sub-system.
- Lead the Sub-System Mtier comprising of several sub-systems, with n-1 at Group SSM Managers and teams comprising of nearly 60 SSMs, working on various medium / high complex and critical projects.
- Actively contributes to the overall Project performance, by timely alerting in case of deviations happening at the sub-system/s level, which impact the project objectives and also by actively contributing to the management of risks, savings and opportunities.
- Ensure compliance with applicable rules, instructions and standards, process & tools: Code of Ethics & Compliance, Environment Health & Safety, Railway Safety, Quality, PMM and all Mtiers involved in sub-system scope.
2/ Lead and coordinate sub-system activities and stakeholders, from requirement capture/analysis to the end of project contractual obligations limited to the sub-system scope of work:
- Achieve QCDP objectives of its sub-system
- Cascade and allocate sub-system requirements and QCDP objectives to sub-system team members
- Implement and execute the scope of work according to the respective Sub-system Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), as defined at Project level at the beginning of the project
- Plan, monitor, control and manage sub-system end-to-end activities (scope, schedule, resources, cost, risks, savings, opportunities)
- Coordinate and support consistent cross-functional execution of sub-system objectives, activities and deliverables (Engineering, R&D, Procurement, Supply Chain, Indus when applicable, Reliability Availability Maintainability Safety )
- Lead teams in successful achievement of project objectives, synchronize stakeholders at sub-system level and ensure stakeholder alignments
- Perform sub-system level decisions and trade-offs
- Re-baselining and change management at sub-system level, based on alignment and authorization from the lead unit Project Manager
- Manage sub-system situation and Key Performance Indicators, and report with transparency
- Upon request from PM, is delegated to represent Alstom towards Customer and external stakeholders
3/ Coordinate and synchronize sub-system activities with other sub-Systems and project teams:
- Actively contribute to the resolution of overarching/transverse optimizations or issues
- Manage interface with project-level team members & project office (e.g., industrial, control of configuration management, procurement, quality) and ask, if necessary, for PM arbitration
- Manage interface with train-level teams (in charge of architecture and integration) and other sub-system teams and ask if necessary, for Chief of Development /Chief of Operation arbitration
Performance measurements:
- Delivery of sub-system in accordance with QCD targets (QCD KPIs) and all contractual requirements
- Sub-system gate review on time
- Compliance with Project Strategy according to defined contractual and Project commitments and targets, as allocated on sub-system.
