International Welding Engineer (IWE) / Welding expert & Trainer - Special process

To coordinate the industrial control of the welding Process- during tender phase, product development, industrialization, manufacturing.To support technology and activity transfers

In this respect the person in charge complies with Ethics and Compliance policies

Direct reports:

Standards committee (unless responsibility is exclusively devoted to the central coordinator)Tender:Contribute to tender phase, especially in product design and industrialization to take into account industrial constraints and requirements in order to optimize costs and minimize risks when neededConcurrent Engineering:Contributes during specification and design phases to technical solution decisions associated to welding special process.Build the Welding REX and interact with product engineering to redirect the design if necessary.Industrialization:Manage industrial risk through Process FMEA and associated improvement action plan. Foster generic FMEA – Welding for standard manufacturing process.Define requirements and rules (Design for Manufacturing) for associated tooling necessary to start productionQualify the product/process pair as well as industrial means to be put in place in line with the design.Support sourcing and SQD teams in the suppliers’ qualification and in quality follow up for suppliers concerned by welding process, Contribute to development of suppliersManage evolution of quality control process dedicated to Welding.Ensure deployment and validation of new processes in line with product / project planningIssue relevant documents in the Quality SystemManages technicians that are eventually under his / her responsibilitySupport Transfer of Technology on welding Process: documentation, process and means validation, trainingComplies with EHS Alstom and external standardsTransmission:Train the workers and EPU managers to execute & Understanding the process knowledge & acceptance criteria of WeldingEnsure continuous training and qualification of the workers to Welding.Train support functions to business rules linked to Welding (Engineering, PME, Sourcing, Supply Chain, Quality)Develop welding expert (IWT) /specialist (IWS/IWP) on new geographic area through welding Standards & qualification plan.Execution / Serial manufacturing:Guarantees internal control and good application of process rules in line with customers’ requirementsPerforms internal and external audits, workstation inspection, stage inspection, Internal & Customer Hold point inspection.Ensure day to day monitoring of welding domain business rules and solve issues concerning Welding.In case of non-conformity or incident, investigate root causes, finds and implement repair solutions.Demonstrate QCD and EHS improvement linked to SP through efficient action plans. Measure performance linked with site industrial objectives and through APSYS audit for instance.Support Sourcing and Supplier Quality teams during quality crisisTransverse:Lead and ensure EN 15085-2 and ISO 3834-2 certification for the company.Participate to meetings and working groups of the welding experts networkPropose improvement ideas and evolution of the business rules of their domain.

Key Job Authorities and Dimensions: (Expenditure/Hiring authorities, total budget resp., team size; etc.):

• In case of major welding quality crisis (major technical risk, safety or financial), the expert must provide to the project manager, factually, a clear problem analysis (root causes, associated risks) and the options to exit the crisis, to enable him taking serenely position
• He / She has the duty to control his / her external communication (written and oral) as it engages the responsibility of AT towards third parties

Performance measurements: (OTD, QCD, Sales, PMC, Orders, Gross margin, etc.)
