Is Process Improvement ‘Your Thing’?

We are looking for a Development Manager to implement and review traincrew and operational safety standards appropriate for the introduction of changes that are the consequence of the TRU (Transpennine Route Upgrade) major change programme or projects that require revised methods of operations.

Connecting millions of people and communities across the North is our mission. With 2,500 trains a day, we connect people to jobs, friends, family, and the wonders of the North.

We’re improving rail travel, enhancing the experience on board and at stations. Customers are at the heart of our business as we improve performance and create a better way to go.

We’re driving economic value and sustainable growth for the North and its people. Our commitment to the environment means reducing our impact and enhancing the world around us.
