Company

This award‑winning operator is looking for a Track & Asset Manager to be a key contributor in their small, close‑knit team as they continue their desire to offer the most reliable urban public transport system in the UK. Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will provide technical leadership and management of the maintenance of all track and points assets.

The Role

As the Track Manager, you will be responsible for all maintenance, performance and renewals of all assets in asset groups such as Points Machines, Points Heating and Track. This includes preparation of briefs, scope of works, completion of technical tasks, and liaison with stakeholders and contractors. You will carry out site inspections and track assessments as required and undertake failure and fault analysis, developing preventative solutions to reduce and mitigate failures.

You will contribute to the review of track maintenance strategies and life‑cycle cost models, and develop and manage all track maintenance activities as determined within the annual maintenance plan.

About you

You are an experienced Track Engineer with a keen understanding of how to co‑ordinate the production of detailed records of inspection, maintenance and asset modification, including details of any inadequacies and shortfalls requiring remedial action. You are also experienced in planning large maintenance jobs (i.e. tamping, grinding) and track renewals (S&C, rails, point machines and controllers) including RAMS, plans and other required paperwork.

The client is looking to have the successful candidate start ASAP, so interviews will be scheduled once applications are received. After your application is processed, there will be an initial telephone call to discuss experience and motivations, followed by in‑person interviews.
