Senior Project Manager (ETCS Signalling)

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.

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 transparent 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 quick-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

- A diverse role, supporting a major rail project.
- Up to 3 additional leave days per year.
- 18 weeks paid parental leave.
- Volunteering leave.

- Independent and confidential wellbeing support for you and your family.
- Our investment in your development, through award-winning learning.

Here, progress isn't always easy — the scale is massive, the tasks are complex — but the impact is real. Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects — that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
