Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your supplier quality expertise in a cutting-edge and fast-paced field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and detail-oriented teammates.

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring supplier quality performance throughout the project lifecycle, driving improvements and fostering strong supplier relationships. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as Project Core Teams, Procurement, and Field Quality), manage supplier non-conformities, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

You’ll specifically take care of ensuring the maturity of supplier parts and processes in alignment with project milestones, but also support non-conformity management and corrective action plans.

We’ll look to you for:

• Participating in the creation and updates of the Supplier Part List (SPL) and ensuring its alignment with project requirements
• Driving supplier quality activities, including First Article Inspection (FAI) and gate reviews, to meet quality and timeline expectations
• Managing supplier non-conformities, ensuring timely resolution and implementing containment actions
• Coordinating corrective and preventive action plans with suppliers and internal teams
• Contributing to continuous improvement by analyzing trends and implementing supplier improvement roadmaps
• Supporting customer reviews, project REX (Return of Experience), and compliance with railway safety requirements
• Overseeing inspection activities (e.g., FAI/FAT) and ensuring supplier deliverables align with project needs
