Position Overview

The duties of the Safety Operations Program Manager focus on two aspects: Managing a team (3–6 staff) of rail operations specialists and providing rail track and rail infrastructure expertise. The team includes rail operations specialists, but this position would serve as the exclusive track specialist. In addition, the Safety Operations Program Manager will plan, execute, and manage the WMSC’s safety oversight of WMATA Metrorail’s track activities.

This position contributes to the overall safety of the Metrorail system primarily by assisting each of the WMSC’s oversight programs (Audits, Corrective Action Plans, Inspections, Investigations, and Safety Certification Oversight). This position will collaborate and establish working relationships with internal WMSC personnel, WMSC contractors, and WMATA personnel. This role is supervised by the Deputy Chief Operating Officer. 


Responsibilities

·       Conduct, lead, and manage the WMSC’s safety oversight of WMATA Metrorail’s track and related rail infrastructure and operations activities, which includes conducting direct observations of Metrorail maintenance and inspection work, with assistance from the Deputy Chief Operating Officer and other WMSC personnel.

·       Ensure that all observations of the Safety Operations team occur as required, and with regard to track observations and any other observations where an additional person is required, also personally perform such observations as needed.

·       Conduct, lead, and manage assigned staff, contractor resources, and projects in accordance with the WMSC Compact and WMSC Program Standard as well as federal and other applicable regulations. 

·       Lead and manage the Safety Operations team, which includes leading and managing individuals that have technical qualifications that differ from the successful candidate’s background.

·       Manage the workload and quality of work of the team members.

·       Assist Safety Operations team with prioritizing work tasks.

·       Provide performance goals, feedback, and performance reviews for staff.

·       Develop program goals and objectives for the WMSC oversight of WMATA Metrorail’s track and related rail infrastructure activities.

·       Devise and implement the methods to collect data that facilitates short-term and long-term tracking and analysis related to program goals and objectives. 

·       Support other WMSC oversight activities as needed, which include, but are not limited to, Audits, Corrective Action Plans, Inspections, Investigations, and Safety Certification Oversight.  

·       Advise WMSC staff and contractors at all levels regarding track or other rail infrastructure as required, and particularly in a manner that facilitates the team’s multidisciplinary safety oversight responsibilities.  

·       Coordinate with multiple internal teams, and external agencies including WMATA departments and local, state, and federal stakeholders. 

·       Prepare and present technical reports and documentation to audiences with varying degrees of technical knowledge of worker safety.

·       Exercise focus, discipline, organization, and close attention to detail with regard to all tasks. 

·       Perform other responsibilities as assigned.  


Qualifications

Experience 

Required at least one year of supervisory or project management experience and a minimum of 6 years of progressive work experience and understanding of the following: 

·       Railroad or rail transit industry track design, construction, inspection, and maintenance.

·       Training workers, supervisors, managers, or others in a railroad, or rail transit environment.

·       General safety and health principles and practices applicable to a railroad or rail transit industry, including but not limited to roadway worker protection.

·       Railroad or rail transit industry accident investigation techniques and responding to accident scenes.

·       Responding to track or related rail infrastructure inspection or maintenance issues in the field.

·       Analyzing or evaluating new and existing jobs, processes, products, or other systems to determine the existence, severity, probability, and outcome of hazards. 

·       Ability to present complex rail track or other rail-related topics to audiences with varying levels of understanding of complex rail system engineering, construction, and operations concepts.

Education 

A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution is required; a master’s degree is beneficial. Major study: safety or track engineering, or degree in other related fields.
