* Support and participate in incident and emergency response planning and escalate emergencies to the Director as required.
* Manage the Construction Control Room during possession periods and coordinate Protection Planning Officers (PPOs).
* Supply and manage Protection Officers (POs) to construction workgroups, including possible involvement in Construction and Rail Safety support.
* Collaborate closely with the Rail Safety and Delivery Teams to ensure safe and efficient site access planning.
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience in possession planning within the rail industry is mandatory.
* In-depth knowledge of rail operations, safety protocols, and access coordination processes.
* Protection Officer Level 4 qualifications mandatory
* Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to lead cross-functional meetings.

* Proficiency in planning tools and electronic access systems used in major infrastructure projects.
* Ability to remain calm under pressure and escalate appropriately during high-risk or emergency scenarios.
Why Join Us?
