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

We are looking for an experienced developer, who has a passion to bring in their know-how and at the same time go new ways.

In this key position, you will be responsible for building and implementing a comprehensive maintenance process landscape that ensures the safe, compliant, and economical operation of our fleet.

Specifically, this means:

• Gathering 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 professional interface management between maintenance service providers, workshops, manufacturers, and the EVU
• Developing requirements management for our maintenance infrastructure and representing maintenance interests in the construction and procurement process
• Safeguarding that the developed maintenance system is fully and seamlessly implemented, integrated, and sustainably anchored at our partners and internally – including clear responsibilities, data flows, and process interfaces
• You bring your railway experience to shape processes that are practical, safe, and efficient

In this role, you will be responsible for building and implementing a comprehensive maintenance process landscape that ensures the safe, compliant, and economical operation of our fleet.

You have a completed degree or comparable qualification

You bring more years of experience in railway maintenance – e.g., from workshops, ECM organizations, vehicle manufacturers, or EVU.

You work structured, self-responsible, and keep an overview even with complex topics

You communicate clearly and connectively – in German and English (C1), Spanish is a nice-to-have

You are travel-ready

• You shape a maintenance system from the start – without outdated structures
• You work in an environment that quickly makes decisions and allows innovations
• You have real influence on safety, availability, and quality of our fleet
• You bring your railway experience to build something new – instead of just managing existing processes

We offer:

• Travel advantages: 12 free Flix vouchers + 12 discount vouchers for friends & family.
• Work from anywhere: Depending on the role, you can work up to 60 days per year from another location.
• Hybrid working model: We are a company with an office culture, but we offer flexibility to balance work and life.
• Health and wellness offers: Access to confidential individual consultations, courses, and stress management measures – for you and up to four family members.
