We’ll look to you to direct, organise and motivate a high‑performing team. From inspection and faulting through to maintenance and renewal, you’ll play a hands‑on role, ensuring everything is done efficiently and to the highest standards. Safety will be a priority; you’ll establish appropriate safety arrangements and make sure Network Rail staff and contractors alike follow safe systems of work. You will proactively control and check the quality of work and the competence of your people, ensuring assets are fully compliant and all vehicles, plant, tools, equipment, and materials are fit for purpose.

You will also compile a range of vital reports.

• Experience of organising and controlling the safe and efficient delivery of work
• Excellent communication skills, both in person and in writing
• Knowledge of discipline‑specific maintenance, inspection, faulting and renewal techniques
• Knowledge of relevant standards, procedures and instructions
