About our people and the recruitment process - We're an inclusive employer of choice and we welcome applications from everyone! We look for opportunities to offer great opportunities to learn and grow through personal and professional development.

We want to help deliver a railway which is safe, reliable, affordable and that provides great customer service to everyone

About the role

As a PICOP, you'll be responsible for the safe and effective delivery of possessions, coordinating multiple work groups and ensuring everyone returns home safely.

No two shifts are the same. You'll work closely with signallers, engineering teams, protection staff and train crews, managing possessions in real time and responding to changing circumstances. Whether facilitating planned engineering work or adapting a possession to accommodate emergency activities, your knowledge, judgement and leadership will be essential.

Alongside delivery duties, you'll support the wider Operations Delivery Team by reviewing possession plans, attending planning meetings and assisting with the production of possession documentation to ensure every job is set up for success.

You may also have opportunities to deputise for the Operations Delivery Manager when required.

Salary: £51,536 per annum
