Current vacancies
Rail Track & Corridor Maintenance Manager
We are seeking an experienced, motivated and hands-on Rail Track & Corridor Maintenance Manager to lead the safe inspection, maintenance and ongoing reliability of THNSW’s operational rail track and corridor infrastructure. Based primarily at Thirlmere, this ongoing full-time leadership role is responsible for infrastructure across the heritage railway from Picton to Braemar and the Valley Heights locomotive depot siding. Reporting to the Head of Rail Operations & Infrastructure you will lead a dedicated team of employees, volunteers and specialist contractors, balancing forward planning and compliance with practical, on-the-ground maintenance. As the Responsible Officer for certification of the rail infrastructure for which THNSW is the accredited Rail Infrastructure Manager, you will help assure its fitness for use. Your work will span all of track, points, level crossings, signals, bridges and structures, drainage, vegetation, cuttings and other corridor assets. You will coordinate inspections and defect rectification, develop and implement the Rail Corridor Asset Management Plan, maintain auditable records, manage budgets and contractors, and build the capabilities of your team. This is a varied role where sound judgement, safety leadership and a willingness to get hands-on are equally important. The role involves travel within NSW, predominantly weekday work with occasional weekends, early starts, late finishes and on-call response. A Tuesday–Saturday arrangement may be negotiated.
