We are looking for a Bid Manager to manage and execute tenders and costing for ISR related scopes for both ALM (Asset Life Management) and RSC (Brake and Traction Electronics) tenders.

You will be part of our committed ISR team that manages the ALM tenders but also the ISR scope of tenders for all the products that are developed and/or produced by RSC in Västerås. Your main task will be to manage tenders with a defined scope, provide accurate Quality Costs Delivery Performance (QCDP) commitments, in a timely manner and within the defined bid budget according to Alstom's internal processes, product strategies and customer requirements.

You will work with a cross functional team depending on the scope, e.g. Services, Engineering, Operations & Procurement, often in an international multi-site community.

We are looking for you who like to learn new things and can motivate a team of stakeholders to work against set goals.

You will:

  • Lead the ISR bid work from understanding customer requirements and having them packaged and quality assured for customer bids
  • Understand customer and supplier relationships
  • Provide added value to Alstom's customers by proposing outstanding technical solutions
  • Plan resource needs for the ISR bids
  • Lead and create the budget in bids for the ISR workload including time and cost estimations

The ability to convey technical information clearly and concisely is essential for ensuring alignment on project goals. Your work will rely on exceptional interpersonal skills, enabling you to effectively communicate, collaborate, and influence both executives and colleagues within an international and multicultural environment.

Being detail-oriented and self-motivated is vital as you manage your responsibilities. Your strong team player attitude and positive mindset will facilitate collaboration with a diverse range of professionals, fostering a positive working environment and driving collective success. Furthermore, your analytical skills, including critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving, will be essential in navigating this role.

Things you will enjoy
