About us
A rich heritage. A strong commercial focus. An iconic brand. They all add up to make Transport for London a unique public service – and a great place to develop your career.
The role
Working with a high level of autonomy, you’ll lead the management of existing train performance regimes and the development of a new regime for Crossrail. This includes developing performance targets, reports and monitoring systems. You will also lead the development of a new performance modelling and simulation team.
You will use tools such as RailSys and TRAIL to examine the impact of performance as a result of timetable or infrastructure change. We’ll also look to you to provide expert advice on all performance issues, determine the negotiating framework for compensation payments and identify best practice.
What you’ll need
To be up to the challenge, you’ll need to have proved you can open a new passenger railway and manage a train operator performance regime. Previous experience of working in an operations team will be essential. Your exceptional communication, planning and lateral thinking skills are supported by a good knowledge of the contractual arrangements relating to train performance and the use of simulation tools to determine the impact on train performance, timetables and infrastructure changes.
