  • Produce accurate and timely reports to support smooth operations

  • Set the standard by working hands-on alongside your team

This role involves days, nights, weekends and on-call working.

Essential criteria
  • Proven experience organising and controlling the safe and efficient delivery of work

  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal

  • A clear, confident and inspirational leadership style

  • Valid IRSE Combined Signalling Maintainer & Fault Finder Licence 1.4.230
