About the role (External)
What will you be doing?
As a Training Local Operations Manager, you will receive all the training needed to do the role, as well as hands-on experience, so you could retrain without any previous operational experience if you have a keen interest in moving your career in this way.
There is so much opportunity to grow and develop. You’ll have access to all the training you need to set you up for success as well as on-the-job experience and support from an experienced Local Operations Manager.
Through your training, we will be developing your management skills to give you the confidence to oversee the operational railway you’re assigned to and the signallers who will report to you. This management is achieved by understanding the competencies required to be a signaller and will also involve managing HR cases, budgets and finance, and writing communications.
What training is required?
You will begin with signaller training, which involves a residential course broken into 3 lots of 4-week residential blocks, alongside on-the-job training and familiarisation with your signal box and the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice once you are competent. This will provide you with the technical knowledge and confidence when managing signallers and their competence later in your career.
Following this training you will complete additional courses to provide you with the skills needed for the operational and people management side of the role. Alongside these training courses you will spend time working through the learning journey to familiarise yourself with your area, key interfaces, equipment and systems and policies and procedures.
Training is anticipated to take between 18 and 24 months and once signed off, you will officially become a Local Operations Manager with you then able to take up available posts should you choose to apply for them.
Please be aware this role holds a mandatory requirement for the incumbent to hold valid security vetting clearance. Any offer will be conditional on the successful candidate obtaining clearance prior to a start date being agreed.
