Supporting project teams and third parties in navigating access and occupation requirements on the V/Line network
Reviewing access and occupation requests to ensure alignment with the V/Line Master Schedule and operational constraints
Identifying and escalating potential conflicts or overlaps in planned access
Representing Network Planning at internal and external access coordination meetings
Participating in the weekly Access & Occupations meeting, including preparation of agenda, minutes, and action follow-up
Supporting project interfaces with other Accredited Rail Operators (AROs) where access impacts occur
Contributing to the development and continuous improvement of V/Line’s operational access systems and processes
Progressing skills and network understanding under the mentorship of the Senior Network Access Specialist
Attending site visits and collaborating closely with Network Development, Asset Management, and other key teams across V/Line

A willingness to learn: Whether you’ve come from a contractor background or within the rail sector, you’ll be supported to grow your knowledge on the job
Experience in planning, scheduling, rail occupations, or infrastructure coordination will set you up for success. Your ability to interpret, manage and align multiple streams of information will be key.
What we offer
Opportunity to contribute to once-in-a-generation infrastructure projects
Real-world exposure to the operational heartbeat of regional rail
A collaborative and knowledgeable team that will support your development
