Safety & Regulatory Compliance

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.
Support achievement of safety approvals, regulatory certifications, operational permits, and authorization processes required for service commencement.

Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior client executives, rail operators, government agencies, regulators, funding bodies, and community stakeholders.
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.

Commercial & Financial Management

Provide executive oversight of program commercial strategy, contract administration, claims resolution, procurement, and supplier performance.
Ensure effective management of program budgets, forecasts, contingencies, and financial performance.
Direct commercial negotiations and strategic decision-making related to major contracts, partnerships, and delivery arrangements.
Monitor program performance and implement corrective actions to manage cost, schedule, risk, and opportunity.

Innovation & Capability Development

Champion innovation, digital delivery, BIM, digital engineering, data analytics, and emerging rail technologies.

Mentor and develop senior program leaders, supporting succession planning and workforce capability growth within the rail sector.
Contribute to pursuit strategies, bid development, and market growth initiatives across rail and transit portfolios.
