Digitalization Specialist

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future Role

This position offers the opportunity to support a high-profile rail infrastructure programme by digitizing signalling delivery from material and work-order planning through installation, inspection, testing, commissioning, and handover. The successful candidate will connect field execution with enterprise data, improve traceability and productivity, and help teams adopt standardized digital ways of working.

The Digitalization Specialist is accountable for deploying, supporting, and continuously improving digital processes and data solutions across the OnCorr Signalling project. The role enables signalling engineering, installation, testing, commissioning, and field teams to use tools such as myField, ERP, SAP, and GSI effectively, ensuring accurate data capture, controlled workflows, reliable reporting, and alignment with project, quality, cybersecurity, and Alstom requirements.
