Role details
We currently have a vacancy for two Bus Control Centre Assistant Managers to join our Mobility Services Team.
These are brand new roles, created to assist in managing a new centralised bus control centre function currently in development, as part of the transition to a franchised bus network in West Yorkshire. As Bus Control Centre Assistant Manager, you will be responsible for managing the staffing and coordination of the bus control centre to ensure an efficient operating structure during the normal operating hours of function, including the use and application of bespoke IT systems to monitor key team outputs.
In this high-profile role, you will have a real opportunity to apply your knowledge and experience to help shape and build centralised bus control across West Yorkshire. Working closely with colleagues across the Combined Authority and its partners, a key part of your responsibilities as Bus Control Centre Assistant Manager will be to manage the outputs relating to emergency road closures and understand the impact of road closures on daily operations. Your role will also be integral to supporting and influencing the future growth and development of the service, while helping to deliver the mayor’s promise of a better connected West Yorkshire through the Weaver Network.
This role will operate on a shift pattern, however further detail of this in operational terms is still to be finalised. If you are undertaking shift work, you will receive a shift allowance of no less than 12.5% of salary. Shift work is a pattern of work with defined start and end times over the course of the day which are defined blocks of time, rotated across the course of the day and week and vary over a set period of time.
Please note, interviews will be held Wednesday 16 September.
