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.

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.

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.
