You will need to be resilient, capable of working at pace and happy to work in an environment where roles might need to be flexible at times.

- Actively monitor and continually develop TSOC’s social-media based horizon-scanning tools to identify major incidents and developing issues, alerting colleagues immediately. In addition, tailoring the horizon scanning tools to strengthen TSOC’s situational awareness during live incidents and major events.
- Issuing TSOC’s monthly Horizon Scanning Product to seniors and ministers, including collating comprehensive information on live issues impacting the transport network, emerging risks, industrial action, and major event planning.
- Co-management and testing of TSOC’s kit and infrastructure, including satellite phones, crisis accounts and DfT equipment at COBR locations.

- Ability to react quickly and help the team deliver at pace.
- Work effectively as part of a team that delivers the critical operation function of the Department.
- Innovative thinker, with a view to always improving our operational capability.
- Excellent organisation skills, with ability to prioritise workloads whilst remaining flexible to new challenges.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
