Expert Maintenance (m/w/d)

Shape the maintenance of our new fleet – with genuine train power

We're building a modern, efficient, and future-proof maintenance landscape for our new fleet at FlixTrain. To achieve this, we're looking for experienced rail professionals who are eager to bring their expertise and explore new paths.

About the role

In this key position, you'll be responsible for setting up and implementing a comprehensive maintenance process landscape that ensures the safe, compliant, and cost-effective operation of our fleet.

Specifically, this means:

• Working together with our partners to develop a complete maintenance system for new fleets – in line with EBO, ECM regulations, CSM-RA, and other relevant guidelines
• Defining standards, workflows, and interfaces for all maintenance processes – from preventive maintenance to troubleshooting and accident response
• Establishing a professional interface management between maintenance service providers, workshops, manufacturers, and the EVU
• Developing the requirements management for our maintenance infrastructure and representing maintenance interests in the construction and procurement process
• Ensuring that the developed maintenance system is fully implemented, integrated, and sustainably anchored at our partners' and internally – including clear responsibilities, data flows, and process interfaces
• You'll bring your rail experience to shape processes that are practical, safe, and efficient

About you

• You have a completed degree or equivalent qualification
• You also bring several years of experience in rail maintenance – for example, from workshops, ECM organizations, vehicle manufacturers, or EVUs.
• You have experience in modeling, optimizing, and implementing maintenance processes as well as setting up maintenance systems
• You work structured, self-responsible, and maintain an overview even with complex topics
• You communicate clearly and persuasively – in German (C1) and English, Spanish is a nice-to-have
• You are travel-ready

If you don't meet all the requirements to 100%, but still believe you can make a difference, we look forward to your application!
