We are passionate about keeping people safe, delighting our customers, doing the right thing and putting customers at the heart of our sustainable railway for the East Midlands. With over 2,600 employees, our people are the reason we are so successful. Nine times accredited as a Top Employer, we value our people and are dedicated to making sure that everybody feels empowered to bring their authentic self to work. 

We have an exciting opportunity to join #Team EMR as a Fleet Standards and Business Continuity Manager.

Reporting to the Fleet Quality Manager, this pivotal role ensures the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of East Midlands Railway’s Fleet Function. You’ll develop and maintain standards, procedures, and documentation in line with legislation, industry requirements, and ISO standards—supporting EMR’s Safety Certificate and continuous improvement.

You’ll also lead Business Continuity planning across EMR depots, building and testing robust strategies to keep operations running safely with minimal disruption during incidents or emergencies.
