Incident Response Manager

[atochopefull]

Does anyone have any experience of this role? Can you recommend it?

The role is new within TfL. They are equivalent to Network Operations Manager in LUL or Mobile Ops Managers in Network Rail. Pretty much as described on their website, responding to incidents on the Elizabeth line and leading and managing the response to any incident.

If you search the forum for Mobile Operations Manager, that maybe able to give you some insight into what the IRM will do.

You maybe required to undertake the role of Rail Incident Oficer or RAIB Accredited Agent also. Will be a very good role to get, believe they are looking to hold their assessment centres in April/May.

Your manager will be a Service & Infrastructure Manager, who is based in Romford. You'll always be assigned to the same shift, so same SIM & Traffic Manager. 8 hour shifts with you either being based at Paddington, Stratford or Abbey Wood.

Any idea what experience/background they maybe looking for?

 

[warrior33]

They aren't looking for anything besides what's listed on the advert, they are more looking for people who can show the ability and right attitudes/behaviours.

Stick in an application and see how you get on.

Good luck & anything else, I'll try and help.

 

[Apples&Pears]

I have applied for this. Good luck to anyone else that does.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you submit your application? Was the SJT similar to the Greater Anglia one?

Application was a few days ago. I haven't done the GA one - so can’t comment as if it was the same. Apologies.

Anyone had a response after the first online SJT? I am wondering if they are waiting for the closing date.

Haha! Just doing my evening check of the posts - you must be doing the same!
I completed the SJT on Monday and simply received an email saying my application was now complete and they would be in touch. I don't expect to hear before the closing date.

Judging by some of the very specific questions on the SJT, my thoughts are that they will want to recruit from within the rail industry. I'm on the outside. Howabout you?

 

[Apples&Pears]

No i get what you mean - they were rather specific questions. I shall just have to sit tight. I am not from within the industry. I have been a police officer for the past 13 years.

Also in the same position, i.e. waiting for my application to be reviewed, and hoping to make it to an Assessment Centre.
Oh!- And guess what I do for a living?

I'm guessing they weren't swamped with applications because the vacancy was advertised right up until the last minute.
