• Collaborating with project teams to manage identified gaps in operability requirements

• Developing operational use case scenarios using methodologies like "Day In The Life-cycle Of The Train" (DITLOTT)

• Assisting in defining human interfaces for users, such as driver’s desks and tooling

• Providing Return on Experience (RoE) to improve standard solutions

• Exchanging knowledge within the operability-related community and conducting local training when necessary

• Experience in organizing and leading workshops
