Technical Project Manager - new option vehicles ER1

Project overview

For our client, we are now looking for a Technical Project Manager.

Background:

AB Transitio is a company owned by twenty regions in Sweden. AB Transitio's mission is to procure, finance, manage, and lease rail vehicles for regional railway traffic for our owners. The purpose is primarily to optimize the owners' vehicle costs and ensure high quality and competence in the areas of procurement, management, and maintenance. AB Transitio's employees act, conduct, and develop the business based on lack of prestige, mutual respect, transparency, community, and responsibility.

AB Transitio's Dosto fleet consists of 60 vehicles (leased assets) and these are currently distributed among two different lessees (Mälardalstrafik and Tåg i Bergslagen) with two railway companies operating the vehicles (Transdev and VR).

Assignment Description:

The assignment concerns a senior technical project manager responsible for leading the Technical sub-project within the procurement of 13 new option vehicles that will be adapted to the existing ER1/Dosto fleet. The project is in the design phase and is planned to transition to production in 2027. The resource will lead the technical work through design, production, testing, and delivery.

The technical project manager shall coordinate the project's technical resources and, through review of the vehicle supplier's solutions and deliveries, ensure that the vehicles meet agreed requirements. The role includes planning and leading technical meetings and design reviews, following up on supplier requirements, and driving technical issues, risks, deviations, and decisions to closure.

A particularly important area of responsibility is cybersecurity and applicable requirements according to the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The resource shall lead and coordinate the work, define requirements for and follow up on the supplier, and ensure that cybersecurity is integrated into the vehicles' design and enables future management.

The role involves close collaboration with quality, ILS, change and configuration management, authority approvals, vehicle management, maintainers, and traffic operators, among others. The resource must be able to create structure in complex technical issues, prioritize between parallel needs, and clearly communicate status, risks, and decision needs. The assignment requires good leadership, contract and negotiation skills, as well as an independent and solution-oriented approach.

Organization:

Reporting will be to the project manager of the project and the vehicle manager within the administration.
