WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The Vice President of Commuter Rail Operations provides executive leadership, strategic direction, and operational oversight for the transition of commuter rail services from a fully contracted operating model to a directly operated organization for rail transportation and maintenance with contracting to a new contractor for maintenance of way and signal systems. This role is responsible for establishing the safety culture, operational framework, workforce strategy, maintenance integration, regulatory compliance, and performance management systems necessary to successfully internalize rail operations while maintaining safe, reliable, customer-focused service.

The VP serves as a key member of the executive leadership team and leads a complex organizational transformation involving labor relations, operational readiness, governance, change management, and stakeholder coordination.

In addition, the VP will oversee strategic coordination on CapMetro’s hosted railroad with contracted freight rail partners to lead initiatives that maximize return on investment across rail operations, infrastructure utilization, capital deployment, and service performance.
