Data Analyst

As a Data Analyst for the Fleet Support Center, you may be one of our master minds behind optimising fleet performance. Will you use data to ensure the reliability and performance of rail vehicles? At Alstom, we are always looking for ways to make fleets future-proof. Will you help us make an even greater impact? Your work will not only affect the railways in the Netherlands but also globally.
 

We are looking for a Data Analyst based in Ridderkerk. Perhaps you are our new colleague?

Your role

Each day presents new and complex challenges. We handle a variety of tasks and support each other in a friendly atmosphere. We answer questions such as: Can we assess the load of a fleet? Can we detect anomalies in components? Can we predict failures within a fleet?

 

Our team consists of a Data Scientist and several Fleet Support Center Officers. The latter are more involved with our customers and the translation of their needs. When advanced and complex programming is required, you will be engaged in those tasks. Currently, we are focused on creating data pipelines and collecting the necessary data for specific insight analyses. Once the work is completed, our Business Support Officer builds dashboards and assists in visually presenting our ideas to customers.

 

We operate within a multidisciplinary environment, working closely with various colleagues within Alstom, including business developers and different types of engineers. As a Data Analyst, you will not have direct contact with our customers—that responsibility falls to the Fleet Support Officers. Our team is flexible, energetic, and operates like a startup within the larger matrix organisation that is Alstom. In this role, you will have the opportunity to learn and grow. If you enjoy working with data, we have a wealth of information at your disposal—it's a true gold mine. As we have more tasks than personnel, your responsibilities will vary, providing you with diverse experiences.

Our team follows the Scrum methodology. When a request comes in from a customer, we break down the tasks, clean the data, perform our analysis, and ultimately visualise it. Our work is conducted in sprints, with tasks assigned to different team members. Collaboration is key; you will not be working in isolation. We require flexibility and agility, making iterative improvements as necessary. If you enjoy learning new concepts every day, you may be a great fit for our team.
 

You are responsible for:

- Regularly reporting on fleet performance for internal use and customers.

- Visualizing remote diagnostic data, system downloads, and depot reports to analyze service failures, including:

o Identifying failure trends and anomalies to inform Engineering and Reliability teams.

o Detecting minor failures that may require preventative maintenance.

o Create predictive maintenance models.

o Improve asset lifecycle.

o Increase vehicle availability.

- Providing specific analyses to System, Maintenance Development, and Reliability Engineers.

- Supporting continuous improvement (Return of Experience, processes).

 

You will:

- Conduct analyses and identify trends impacting fleet performance.

- Communicate with team members regarding your findings and recommendations.

- Proactively contribute to improvement opportunities in both existing and new systems.
