About The Project

The Midland Station Project, delivered by the Midland Junction Alliance (MJA) - a collaboration between PTA, McConnell Dowell, Georgiou, BG&E, and Arcadis - is one of WA's most iconic rail upgrades. Running through to mid-2026, this major project will reshape rail services for the eastern suburbs and beyond.

About The Role

We're on the lookout for a Track Protection Officer to join our team in Midland on a full-time, permanent basis. You'll be responsible for coordinating and implementing rail safe-working rules and procedures across both PTA and Arc Infrastructure rail networks.

  • Plan and implement protection arrangements for complex rail possessions.
  • Conduct risk assessments and pre-work briefings with site personnel.
  • Maintain strong, collaborative relationships with client reps and stakeholders.
  • Uphold the highest health and safety standards across all rail activities.
  • Promote MJA's values and actively contribute to our team culture.

About You

You're safety-focused, experienced, and proactive when it comes to planning and communication. You'll ideally be Perth-based and able to commute to Midland daily for work. You'll also bring:
  • A current C Class Driver's Licence.
  • Construction White Card.
  • Rail Industry Worker (RIW) Card with relevant PTA accreditations: Supervised Worker; Protection Officer Level 1-3; Person Responsible for Electrical Safety (PRES); Possession Protection Officer (PPO) - desirable.
  • Track Access Permit (TAP) Card with relevant Arc Infrastructure accreditations: Supervised Worker; Protection Officer (incl POLO); POTV and PPO - desirable.

  • Flexibility to work weekends and nightshifts when required.
