Fleet Performance Analyst Apprentice

As a Fleet Planner, you will help ensure SWR trains are safe, clean, and ready for service. You’ll do this by managing regular maintenance based on mileage, handling unexpected repairs, resolving issues that occur while trains are running, and coordinating cleaning schedules - responding quickly when plans change.

• Effective deployment of Fleet asset resources in order to deliver the correct train plan at all times
• Ensuring all Fleet asset resources are maintained and examined in accordance with the specified frequencies as required in the respective maintenance plans
• Create and distribute maintenance plans showing effective management to balance depot workloads
• Liaise with Depot Management and Service Delivery Team regarding the required alteration to a plan or the movement of units
• Support the Service Delivery Team as required in formulating stock change plans for review with NR under VSTP conditions
• Monitor all services operated by SWR fleets and ensure that any deviation to the plan is highlighted and support the restoration of normal working
• Ensure that routine maintenance requirements on SWR fleets are plan led with rolling stock being moved back to depots to fill pre-agreed slots which allows a beat rate to be achieved. This gives more flexibility to the operational railway with less focus on planning to zero miles
• Review Altered Carriage Working Notices (ACWN), special workings and engineering notices to ensure that we are able to deploy the fleet appropriately based on the current train plan
• Ensure depots and outstations are kept informed with regard to arrivals and departures, including any special requirements to support the delivery of the maintenance plan or the train service
