You will have the opportunity to work across the Department and with industry to understand the issues that affect the Division. This will include the development of new contractual arrangements with operators, the management of crisis situations, the introduction of new timetables and the in-life management of the operational aspects of train franchises.

- Maintaining the policy bank, a repository of documents that explain how performance and train service policy is set.
- Providing central support such as monitoring the work streams in which the Division is involved, coordinating learning activities or leading divisional recruitment campaigns when required.
