About The Role

We have an opening in our Rail division for a Supervisor SWL2 to join our team. A Safe Work Leader is the person with overall responsibility for the safety of all planned work on Network Rail worksites.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

There will only ever be one person undertaking the role of safe work leader (SWL) on each work site. Depending on the activities, the safe work leader may be supported by task leaders / COSS (controllers of site safety).  A task leader / COSS is the person responsible for carrying out a particular job / task within a worksite in a possession.  The SWL will be involved in planning the tasks and will be important in deciding whether any late changes to the plan can be accepted.  All work on or near the line, and any work which poses a risk to the safe running of the operational railway, will require an SWL and a permit to work. Permits will be issued for each activity before work starts.
