Lead Project Material Manager (Industrial and Procurement)

Purpose of the Job

• Coordinate, consolidate and secure QCD commitments within the Material Scope in Project Execution. Having end to end accountability for all materials regardless of Make vs Buy, generic product vs project specific, and regardless of if it is A class or C class material.
• Manage industrial scope assigned by the project ensuring that the products (Alstom generic products, project specific products, installation materials) - including notably documentation and certificates - are delivered to the project stakeholders (Installation, Engineering, Customer,) according to project QCD commitments.
• Representing both Procurement function and Operations/Supply Chain function at the core project team meeting.
• Ensure that the Project Execution is aligned to the Alstom Procurement Objectives requirements

Direct reports:

3 to 6 direct reports

Main responsibilities

Based in Hatfield or another Alstom D&IS site, the responsibilities of the Lead Project Material Manager are as follows:

At Tender phase, the LPMM will:

• Contribute to tender phase, especially on Project Industrial Organization and Make or Buy Industrial basis to take into account industrial constraints and requirements in order to optimize material flow, costs and minimize risks.

At project start, the LPMM will:

• Understand the Project Procurement Strategy to ensure it is fulfilled during execution and part of the Project Management Plan Ensure the Project Procurement strategy is shared, understood, applied by the procurement teams and the Sub-System Managers /Project Manager.
• In collaboration with Regional Legal Department, build and publish the specific legal requirements to be applied for the project, ensure good use and application by stakeholders.

• Organize the launch meeting involving the Project Manager, and Project Procurement Manager.

For Project Execution, the PMM will:

• Ensure the proper set-up of the Project Industrialization process and manage the corresponding deliverables in QCD. Leading Unit PMM coordinates with Core Team, Support Functions and other PMMs of other projects
• Apply Signalling Project Industrial Process.
• Be proactive one BoM availability and associated obsolescence management plan (under Project responsibility).
• Supervise cash flow curve related to material orders and minimize the time the material remains in the warehouse. Support project closure to clean and close the Hard Inventory.
• Have a general vision of the Project's / suppliers' progress, stakes, and difficulties. Define and agree with Procurement the mitigation plans to be followed by Procurement.
• For Generic Products, coordinate the Supply Chain/Logistic teams based on project sites to ensure transfer orders are released on time
• Build the cost to complete for the Project Manager
• Define improvement plans with Project Manager /respective Sub-System if applicable & Component teams - Follow-up the progress and ensure the progress is compliant with Project objectives.
• Co-Validate with Project Manager /Sub-System Manager any deviations from the tender BOM
• Check completeness and on time availability of the detailed design (under Project Engineering responsibility).
• Ensure that necessary inputs data allowing respect of QCD commitment are consistently and timely made available by other project contributors (such as BoM, BoQ, requirements specification, ). In particular monitor that development and Industrialization of new/modified generic Products used on the project is coherent with Project Industrial schedule and coordinates mitigation plan when needed.

Performance measurements:

• Quality: DFQ / Project Industrial Review milestones following project schedule
• Cost: External & Internal material cost monitoring including cost reduction versus budget).
• Cost: Project Hard Inventory. Cash in - cash out curve.
