Head of Analysis & Economics
Network Rail
London
£88,707 - £99,792
Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain’s railway. From Crossrail – Europe’s largest civil engineering project – to investment in world-class stations and major programmes of electrification, we're involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures that this country has ever seen.
The System Operator is a distinct part of Network Rail, responsible for planning the rail network as a cohesive whole and making it greater than the sum of its parts. We lead the strategic planning of the network, understanding the requirements and strategic goals of users, funders, train operators and other stakeholders, and planning how best to meet them. We develop potential investments in the network and create business cases for them, giving independent advice to funders and enabling them to make informed choices. And we create the national timetable, making the best use of capacity on today’s railway.
This role is to lead the team that is the System Operator’s centre of expertise in economics and station capacity analysis. The team provides analytical support across the System Operator, Network Rail as a whole and to external parties on strategic planning, project development, industry economics and related contractual and regulatory issues. The team also owns and manages Network Rail’s analytical assurance policy. The team is currently around 25 people and is planned to expand significantly over the next 1-2 years.
This is a great opportunity to play a leading role within the System Operator as it plans the future of the railway in Great Britain.
