• Coordinating with Control Centre and Passenger Service teams to evaluate and modify schedules

• Developing and maintaining operating procedures and manuals

• Analyzing passenger loading to determine peak-period train headway scheduling

• Preparing monthly reports on service operations, including anomalies and their rationale

• Producing public notices for holiday or special service operations

• Reviewing and analyzing automatic train control (ATC) system anomalies and recommending corrective actions

• Calculating and evaluating daily, weekly, and monthly train availability

• Providing statistical analysis to improve service quality

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field

• Minimum 3 years of experience in railway operations, preferably in automated or driverless systems

• Fluency in Arabic and proficiency in English (written and spoken)

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
