As our new ETCS (European Train Control System) Project Manager youll play a key part in the digital railway revolution keeping complex high-impact programmes running smoothly and making sure we meet our commitments to the industry.
What youll be doing
This is a hands-on detail-driven role where youll lead on the coordination and reporting of ETCS programme activity. That includes pulling together information from across the business and our partners to create meaningful reports keeping everything aligned with our governance processes.
Youll manage our SharePoint systems support document control and help digitise and improve how we share data.

Why Northern

Back in 1825 the first passenger train set off in the North of England after which rail quickly spread across the globe - and this year were celebrating 200 years of the modern railway. As we look back on the historic events that led us here we also look towards the future as we move into the era of Great British Rail. Join us at this pivotal moment in rail history and play your part in our journey.
