• Ensuring compliance with Alstom’s rules and instructions, including ethics, safety, and project management standards.

• Collaborating with tender leaders and teams to define bid strategies and operational plans.

• Preparing and issuing Instructions for Quotations (IFQ) and other tender-related documentation.

• Managing QCD optimization and obtaining clear commitments from all stakeholders.

• Preparing risk reviews, mitigation plans, and maintaining updated risk and savings registers.

• Contributing to contract negotiations and ensuring alignment with customer requirements and internal strategies.
