  • Developing and improving working practices and seeking innovative solutions
  • Managing all relevant programmes and assisting in developing planned maintenance solutions by reviewing traffic management proposals to ensure delays are minimized and safety is not compromised
  • Assisting the Area Planner in the proactive monitoring and maintenance of all programmes on a regular basis to ensure that the programme remains achievable and identify areas where corrective action may be required
  • Regularly communicating programme changes and risks to the Area Planner and ensuring that all programmes contain the correct information and are of sufficient detail to allow the project delivery teams to successfully plan and monitor the works to achieve the project goals
  • Assisting the Area Planner and operational teams with the control and management of resource allocation, rostering, and programming to ensure the service is delivered efficiently and all resource allocation is optimized
  • Liaising regularly with other departments regarding TM sharing opportunities and populating transport plans through closures, etc.
