Serve as the senior safety leader for the program, promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Ensure compliance with all rail regulatory requirements, industry standards, safety certification processes, and client governance expectations.
Oversee program-wide risk management, assurance, environmental stewardship, and quality programs.

Represent the program at executive steering committees, governance boards, industry forums, and public stakeholder engagements.
Resolve complex stakeholder issues and drive alignment across diverse interests while protecting program objectives.
