My typical working hours are Monday - Friday 8.00 – 16.00/17.00 unless I’m travelling to and from Barrow Marine Terminal.
You will often find me working from my home office set up/second lounge (following lock down) much to the pleasure of my two dogs - one of whom makes a regular appearance on Teams calls with colleagues. Lately it has been great to get back to Barrow or Hinton House for some long overdue face-to-face meetings.
I work closely with the Shipping Business Line Management (SBL) Team, Our supporting business partners, the Communications Team, Maritime UK and soon the new Ship Manager AW.
The first thing I usually do when I start work is to check what meetings I need to prep for, catch up on emails and upcoming deadlines and any activity in Teams.
On any one day you might see me:
I’m currently involved in supporting a number of initiatives to improve the mental health of our PNTL crew which involves working closely with Learning and Development on diversity and inclusion training availability, workshops with HR and MIND, ensuring we are aligned with NTS wellbeing plans and policy and also Maritime UK Culture of Care.
I enjoy working in the SBL - they are all genuinely lovely people. I also like the variety of tasks involved in my role. No two day are the same.
My typical working hours are 07:30 -16:00 Monday to Friday - but these vary depending on workload and the other railhead/sites we look after.
You will often find me at our Gresty Bridge depot in Crewe - like the ‘Cheshire Cat’. We maintain many different areas at Crewe - the modular building, main engineering shed, stores and six roads of track plus the slip. We have recently started using ‘Shire’ a new facilities management system which will help us put all our information into one place. I have recently taken the role of Facilities Engineer (temporary). This role will take me out and about more completing track and facilities inspections, portable appliance testing (PAT), vegetation control and leading on minor building, infrastructure and maintenance work at sites including Bridgwater, Berkeley, Valley, Rugby, Doncaster, York, Coal Sidings.
I work closely with the whole Facilities Team - Kev Alcock, Paul Kalienikas, Lee Andrews, Lauren Graham, Andrew Weston, Mark Bell, Mike Liddle and Ewan Macintyre. I try to work closely with all departments across our sites and believe a healthy relationship can only be a good thing for the company.
The first thing I usually do when I start work is to have a catch up with Kev (Crewe colleague). I then check my emails and the helpdesk for any reactive work we need to prioritise. Beyond that, thanks to Shire a big chunk of our work for the day will already be scheduled and work orders created – so we can crack on.
On any one day I might work on:
I enjoy and get a great sense of satisfaction and pride from finishing track work on our infrastructures/sites - knowing all the effort and teamwork that has gone into completing it.
I mainly work regular office hours, but I also work shifts when assessing and interacting with traincrew you will often find me at Sellafield Station Depot or Carlisle Kingmoor Depot. I manage traincrew at both these locations. I also carry out assessments on trains and in local yards and depots. I enjoy the variety. I work closely with traincrew. I also work alongside departments such as Production Planning, Human Resources, Engineering, Operations Control and HSEQ.
The first thing I usually do when I start work is check the control log to see if I need to go to a particular location in response to a request for OTMR train downloads, for example, or general operational requirements.
The biggest part of my role is traincrew management including the management of competence. I am often out on the rail network carrying out operational audits and assessments. I write and review Methods of Work for Operations in Yards or Sidings, and the Risk Assessments that go with them and carry out briefings to promote safety awareness.
Sometimes you’ll find me driving trains or carrying out train preparation duties. It is important for me to maintain my own competence and Train Drivers Licence for assessment purposes. Keeping my ‘hand in’ also helps me maintain understanding, build relationships with traincrew and assist Commercial operationally with new business contracts.
There may be weeks when I’m at my desk full time – when I am ‘on call’ out of hours. It is important for me to manage my own fatigue levels in case of a call out. I am sometimes required to carry out investigations for any Incidents that have occurred operationally. They can take 21 days to complete and are very workload heavy – so I often try to work from home when doing so.
I’m currently undertaking a Level 5 Apprenticeship in Excelling in Operational Management. It’s helping me learn and develop management and leadership skills.
One of my proudest moments was when my mam, who used to work for Direct Rail Services, before retirement, came for a cab ride out on a train I drove from Sellafield to Carlisle. I was extremely happy to show her my achievements and how far I have come.
My typical working hours are whatever is required to get the job done!
You will often find me at Hinton House, Regents Court, a depot, or working from our home office – usually with a laptop, two screens, a phone, a cup of tea and some biscuits plus Loki our cat.
I work closely with pretty much all teams across NTS including Matt and the Procurement Team; Tom, Beverley and Tony and the Commercial Team; the Transformation Team; INS Japan; PNTL plus the Executive/Board and NDA Legal – and, of course, Khalil and the rest of the Legal A-Team.
The first thing I do when I start work is give a big smile and rub my hands together in anticipation of another interesting/fun/challenging/difficult/complex day.
Any one day might involve document drafting, legal advice, negotiations, budgets, work allocation, governance, collaboration, constructive challenge, stakeholder management.
You might see me:
I’m currently involved in:
I particularly enjoy business partnering with people to achieve an end goal – be it an agreement on a contract or the completion of a transport.
I also enjoy the short-lived satisfaction of completing a task - before moving onto the next one.
