About the Job

About the roles

We are seeking three enthusiastic Trainers to join our Operations Training team, focusing on our Protection Officers (PO) and Safeworking, Network Control Officers (NCO), and Transit Officers (TO). You will be responsible for the design, development, and delivery of operational training programs, courses, and assessments, specifically within a rail environment, aiming to enhance the competencies of our operational employees.

In facilitating the learning process, these roles involve appraising performance, identifying problem areas, and addressing issues within the context of the training course. Close liaison with the PTA RTO Quality & Compliance team is maintained to ensure that all training and assessment activities comply with required standards guaranteeing high-quality educational experiences.

About You!

To excel in this role, you should possess:

• Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is essential for this role, with an allowance for the achievement of this qualification within an agreed timeframe if not already held.
• For Transit Officer training you will need a Cert III in Security Operations or a Cert IV in Rail Network Control for Network Control training.
• Knowledge in Rail Safeworking to support Network Control, Rail Traffic Operations, Protection Officers, and Track Protection, or an understanding of Rail Infrastructure and Train Operations, preferably within an urban rail network.
• Highly developed presentation and interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with diverse audiences.
• Experience in the design, development, delivery, and evaluation of adult learning and development programs, specifically those involving competency-based training and assessment material.

Although much of our training is based out at our Training Centre in Guildford you will be required to work across other Public Transport Authority sites such as the Public Transport Centre in East Perth and our offices and yard in Claisebrook. This is a unique opportunity for candidates with broad experience to join a growing team of trainers and assessors, to support the growth of Perth’s urban rail network.
