* Veiller à l'alignement avec les définitions des produits et favoriser une communication efficace entre les parties prenantes
* Fournir régulièrement aux équipes de projet des mises à jour sur les enjeux de coûts et les plans d'action

* Diplôme en génie mécanique ou dans un domaine connexe

* Expérience dans l'industrie du transport (ferroviaire, automobile ou équipements lourds)
* Maîtrise de l'anglais et du français
* Forte capacité de leadership technique, avec un esprit autonome et proactif
* Capacité à analyser des données complexes et à fournir des informations exploitables
* Excellentes compétences en communication et en gestion des parties prenantes

Ce que vous apprécierez Rejoignez-nous pour un parcours transformateur tout au long de votre carrière - l'industrie ferroviaire est là pour durer, vous pourrez donc développer de nouvelles compétences et acquérir de nouvelles expériences tout au long de votre carrière. Vous pourrez également :
* Profiter de stabilité, de défis et d'une carrière à long terme sans routine quotidienne ennuyeuse
* Travailler avec des outils et des méthodologies de pointe pour l'optimisation des coûts
* Collaborer avec des équipes diversifiées et interfonctionnelles ainsi qu'avec des collègues bienveillants
