Every day, more than 80,000 employees pave the way towards greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities while reducing carbon emissions and replacing the car.

Could you be the Team Leader Paint (m/f/d) in Villeneuve that we are looking for?

Your future role:

In Villeneuve, more than 400 employees from 15 countries work together to manufacture and maintain trainsets, locomotives, trams and passenger cars from Switzerland and other European countries. Our Services product line offers a full range of solutions aimed at maximising the value of our customers’ assets. Our offerings cover the entire asset lifecycle, from design and manufacturing, to operation, through to end of life. You will report to Antonin Miché, Director Production and Testing Villeneuve, and work alongside a committed and enthusiastic team.

We will count on you to:

• Lead and coordinate the painting activities of all projects at the Villeneuve site, respecting quality, cost, and deadline commitments (QCDC).

• Optimise resource allocation and prioritise activities in connection with production.
• Ensure reliable reporting on progress, deviations and risks.
• Guarantee compliance of processes, standards and documentation.
• Actively contribute to continuous improvement and the development of the team’s skills.
• Serve as the Production correspondent for the Special Paint Process.

About you:

We value your motivation and attitude more than your experience. That is why we do not expect you to meet every requirement. Instead, we have identified the key qualifications and skills that will help you succeed and grow in this role.

• Technical training with recognised qualification in industrial painting.
• Proven experience in production coordination, ideally in the special paint process, with solid field expertise.
• Knowledge of fleet operation, maintenance and/or refurbishment.
• Ability to work in a team and supervise employees in an operational environment.
• Experience in the railway sector, particularly in managing painting activities, is an asset.
• Fluency in French.

Key skills:

• Team spirit, communication skills and a culture of trust.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills, autonomy and proactivity.
• Comfort with IT tools.

What you will appreciate:

Joining Alstom means embarking on a long-term transformation journey – the railway industry is sustainable and will offer you the opportunity to develop your skills throughout your career. You will also be able to:

• Work in a dynamic environment, within a leading player in sustainable mobility, with a stable position.
• Benefit from an attractive remuneration package, including benefits such as a pension plan.
• Support your work-life balance with flexible hours and hybrid working modes.
• Explore career development opportunities and grow your career across different professions and countries.
• Enjoy quality training through our Alstom University and contribute to a culture of innovation through continuous improvement programmes.
• Work in a modern and collaborative environment, with mentoring programmes, diversity & inclusion initiatives, CSR actions and internal events.

You don’t need to be passionate about trains to thrive with us. But the day you board with your loved ones, you will be proud. If you are ready to take on the challenge, we will be delighted to meet you!

As an international company, we are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in each of the 63 countries where we operate. We are committed to creating an inclusive work environment for all.
