Summary
As Infrastructure Manager you will ensure that the track and associated railway infrastructure at the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre (LMRIC), remains safe, operable and is maintained to a standard that allows for its future operation.

Ensure all infrastructure spend is appropriately collated and budgeted for
