Job Description

Req ID:519352

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's most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.

More than a job: a mission

As a Buyer in St-Bruno, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable mobility. Your expertise in procurement and supplier management will directly impact the reliability and efficiency of rail systems that connect communities every day.

Your role, Your impact

  • Lead the full supplier selection process, including tender preparation and negotiations.
  • Monitor procurement project QCDT and ensure compliance with work package commitments.
  • Secure cost commitments by collaborating with costing and tender teams.
  • Organize and lead Business Award processes using internal templates.
  • Drive supplier performance improvements in coordination with the supplier quality team.

You'll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, operations, and design — solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility. As a Buyer, you will be at the heart of supplier relationships and procurement excellence.

What you bring

  • Undergraduate degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field; Master’s in Purchasing/Business is a plus.
  • 5 years of procurement experience in a design and manufacturing environment.
  • Strong communication skills and a team-oriented, customer-centric mindset.
  • Ability to work effectively in a matrix environment and drive results with autonomy.
  • Proficiency in managing supplier relationships, conducting negotiations, and delivering fit-for-purpose solutions.

How success is measured

  • Achievement of on-time, cost-effective procurement project delivery.
  • Quality and compliance of supplier performance throughout the product development cycle.
  • Contribution to building sustainable supplier relationships and supporting commodity strategies.

Alstom, a great place to grow

  • Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career with opportunities for growth and development.
  • Collaborate with diverse, supportive teams and contribute to innovative projects shaping the future of mobility.
  • Benefit from a dynamic reward package, comprehensive social coverage, and award-winning learning programs.

Knowledge of a language other than French is an asset to facilitate communication with our partners, suppliers, colleagues, and international clients. In Quebec, French remains the primary working language of our company.

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.
