About you

Your customer-facing operational experience formed across rail, public transport, station operations, customer service, facilities, compliance, or similar environments will see you excel in assessing service standards, making evidence-based decisions, and ensuring customers receive a high-quality experience every day.

You’re recognised as a mature, emotionally intelligent and collaborative professional, skilled at building positive relationships with people from all walks of life and confidently navigating challenging conversations when required. Experienced in station, transport or customer operations environments, you understand the mechanics of train and station operations, the importance of customer experience, and how quality outcomes are delivered on the ground.

You bring strong attention to detail, sound judgement, and the ability to apply fair and defensible assessment methodologies while maintaining accurate records and managing large volumes of information.

Confident using digital tools and reporting systems, you can clearly communicate findings, provide practical insights, and support operators to meet customer and contractual expectations.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in public transport while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

The role offers flexible start and finish times in line with award provisions and a hybrid working arrangement, splitting your time between working from home and conducting inspections across Sydney Metro stations and trains.

We're looking for an absolute team player who enjoys being out in the field, values customer outcomes, and takes pride in helping deliver safe, clean and welcoming environments for the travelling public.
