  • Coordinate interface management with construction, rolling stock, and readiness teams.
  • Lead audits, compliance checks, and investigations for any PTW or safety-related incidents.
  • Train and lead a team of PTW Coordinators across work zones or stations.
  • Act as subject matter expert for all PTW and isolation procedures.
  • Maintain robust records and reporting using electronic or paper-based tracking systems.
  • Deliver weekly and monthly updates to senior leadership and client teams.

What We're Looking For

  • Team management experience for Permit to Work on major infrastructure projects.
  • Deep knowledge of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) systems and energized rail work procedures.
  • Strong grasp of relevant safety regulations, isolation protocols, and permit governance.
  • Excellent leadership, training and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Experience with electronic permit systems and safety documentation tools.
