Ford & Stanley - The Rail Recruitment Experts are recruiting a Principal Track Technical Officer for a key player within the Rail industry, based in London.

The Opportunity

Requirement for a Principal Track Technical Officer, to play a crucial part in the safety of passengers by delivering the track inspections of 120km of track, for a London based train operating company, carrying up to 120 million passengers a year across 45 stations in the Nation's capital.

As a Principal Track Officer, you will effectively be responsible for the Asset Management of their rail/track network, providing engineering, technical, and planning support to the wider business.
