Arriva Trains Wales are currently advertising a position for secondment to implement the new units.
https://www.comeaboard.co.uk/recruiter/users/jobsearch.php?&id=1016
"Please note-this position is only available to candidates employed within Arriva Trains Wales. If you are not eligible to apply for this position, your application will not be considered.
The era of Avantix, as the rail industry’s chosen on-train and gate line ticket issuing system, is drawing to a close after thirteen years and Arriva Trains Wales will be introducing new state of the art technology from 2016 onwards.
This will be a significant, positive development that will deliver tangible benefits for our conductors, ATE’s and stations teams and brings welcome improvements to the retailing equipment that we currently use in the ‘day job’, in addition to affording us the opportunity to deliver further innovation for our customers.
To ensure that this change over process is a seamless and as problem-free an experience as possible, we are looking for a dedicated project manager to take the lead in moving us forward on that transitional journey! This is a secondment opportunity until April 2016.
You will need to have a proven record of successfully delivering a large project such as this and be able to work methodically against extremely tight schedules.
Good communication skills and a proactive approach towards keeping PTIS users up to date on developments in a timely manner will be of utmost importance, including liaison with trade union colleagues.
The successful candidate will need to regularly engage with our IT team, revenue and other key stakeholders (both within Arriva Trains Wales and Arriva Group) and participate at all associated meetings relevant to the overarching project. The successful candidate must be prepared to travel to business meetings outside of the ATW network (such as to London), as required by the project group.
Supporting the hardware installation at each of the ATW locations where Avantix equipment is currently based will form an intrinsic part of the project work.
A good background knowledge of existing rail ticketing systems is desirable, although not essential.
In addition to the development of the next PTIS for Arriva Trains Wales, you will also be the lead contact for a separate ‘ITSO’ retailing trail on the Conwy Valley line.
On-call responsibilities will form part of the PTIS Project Manager role, but only if already included within the successful candidates existing job role."
