Assess driver and vehicle cost impacts of timetable changes
Review schedules to improve punctuality and profitability
Communicate effectively with internal teams, Local Transport Authorities and consultants
Deputize for the Network Development Lead when required
About you
Experience in transport planning and resource scheduling
