Req ID:515926

At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can’t afford to fail. We’re more than 85 000 people worldwide creating the industry most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.

More than a job: a mission

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager based in Brisbane to be part of a major ETCS Level 2 signalling project for Queensland. You’ll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication — because they know what’s at stake: the journey home. You will be responsible for the following:

Your role, your impact

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of the ETCS scope, ensuring project outcomes are achieved safely, on time, within budget and to quality standards.

• Manage and motivate multidisciplinary project teams, including internal stakeholders and external delivery partners.

• Drive project governance, contract administration, risk management and change control in line with contractual and business requirements.

• Maintain accountability for project financial performance, including Profit & Loss (P&L) management.

• Build strong relationships with customers, contractors and key stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery.

• Monitor project performance, manage critical issues and provide clear reporting to senior leadership.

• Oversee engineering, procurement and delivery activities to achieve programme milestones and contractual objectives.

• Champion continuous improvement, safety and operational excellence across the project lifecycle.

You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across Altom — solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

What you bring

• Proven experience delivering large-scale rail, signalling, infrastructure or engineering projects in a project management leadership role.

• Strong knowledge of project delivery, contract management, commercial governance, risk management and change control.

• Demonstrated experience managing multidisciplinary teams, contractors and complex stakeholder environments.

• Strong commercial acumen, including budget management and P&L accountability.

• Excellent communication, negotiation and customer relationship management skills.

• Ability to lead high-performing teams, influence stakeholders and drive project outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

• Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Project Management or a related discipline.

• Experience with ETCS, signalling systems or major rail projects will be highly regarded.

Alstom, a great place to grow
