They’re helping us build a greener, more inclusive future for everyone. Join us and you’ll be part of a passionate team which always goes the extra mile.

We are seeking an experienced and collaborative Major Overhaul Programme Manager to lead the planning, coordination and delivery of our heavy overhaul and major component repair programme across TMI.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a critical maintenance programme that directly impacts operational performance and customer service. You will have the opportunity to shape maintenance strategy, drive continuous improvement and play a significant role in enhancing fleet availability and reliability.

This permanent position is based at our Temple Mills depot in Leyton, London.

The role requires you to be onsite a minimum of 4 days in 5. There will be flexibility to the start and finish time between the hours of 7.00am – 7.00pm.

The closing date for this role is 12 October 2026. Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible; Eurostar reserves the right to contact candidates before close date and to close the role earlier if suitable candidates are identified.

Internal use only: Grade F travel services 4-5.

· Implement a robust schedule for overhaul delivery, improving the workflow to gain efficiencies against the transport delivery plan and improve fleet availability.

· Lead and develop the overhaul team, monitoring delivery against plan, safety, quality and cost.

· Deliver the full life cycle strategy for overhaul & heavy maintenance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
