• Developing and maintaining operating procedures and manuals
• Analyzing passenger loading to determine peak-period train headway scheduling
• Preparing monthly reports on service operations, including anomalies and their rationale
• Producing public notices for holiday or special service operations
• Reviewing and analyzing automatic train control (ATC) system anomalies and recommending corrective actions
• Calculating and evaluating daily, weekly, and monthly train availability
• Providing statistical analysis to improve service quality

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field
• Minimum 3 years of experience in railway operations, preferably in automated or driverless systems
• Fluency in Arabic and proficiency in English (written and spoken)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
