Maintenance Process & Operations Lead (m/w/d)

We are looking for an experienced developer, who has a genuine passion for shaping the maintenance of our new fleet – with real train power.

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

About the role

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

This means:

• Gemini 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
• Etablishing 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
• Safeguarding 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 will bring your rail experience to shape processes in a practical, safe, and efficient manner

About you

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

We value the big picture – even if you don't meet all requirements to 100%, but still believe you can make a difference, we look forward to your application!

• You work in an environment that makes decisions quickly and allows innovation
