• Support and participate in incident and emergency response planning and escalate emergencies to the Director as required.
• Manage the Construction Control Room during possession periods and coordinate Protection Planning Officers (PPOs).
• Supply and manage Protection Officers (POs) to construction workgroups, including possible involvement in Construction and Rail Safety support.
• Collaborate closely with the Rail Safety and Delivery Teams to ensure safe and efficient site access planning.
  
  

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience in possession planning within the rail industry is mandatory.
• In-depth knowledge of rail operations, safety protocols, and access coordination processes.
• Protection Officer Level 4 qualifications mandatory
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to lead cross-functional meetings.
• Excellent time management and planning skills, with an ability to manage multiple access requests and evolving site priorities.
• Proficiency in planning tools and electronic access systems used in major infrastructure projects.
• Ability to remain calm under pressure and escalate appropriately during high-risk or emergency scenarios.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Be part of the SSTOM Project - a defining rail infrastructure initiative for Western Sydney.
• Join a collaborative team delivering safe, efficient, and complex construction in a live operational environment.
• Enjoy a dynamic and safety-driven culture, with opportunities for professional growth and long-term project engagement.
