A newly created role at Nexus, Head of Infrastructure Delivery, has been taken by long-serving member of staff Emma Gardener it has been announced. This role will see Emma leading maintenance work across the Tyne and Wear Metro network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking about the role, Emma said: \u201cThis is an expanded role and I\u2019m looking forward to getting started. I have experience of all of the departments that I will be managing so that will be a big help as I take on this new job. The effective maintenance of the Metro system is vital work that we carry out around the clock, in all weathers. It\u2019s a lot of work that the public don\u2019t really get to see. Despite the challenges we face from Covid-19 we will keep going to ensure we provide Metro with a safe and reliable infrastructure.\u00a0We have created safe systems of work for our own employees to work in a covid-secure way and I will ensure that that continues. Health and Safety excellence is the heart of everything we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
She will be overseeing a wide range of essential daily works that are needed to ensure the Metro network can keep on running.<\/p>\n
Stuart Clarke, Metro Infrastructure Director, added: \u201c\u201cIt\u2019s great to welcome Emma to this new role. She brings a huge amount of experience with her, particularly in regard to railway and construction safety, engineering and site delivery. Her experience will be invaluable to us. Engineering is still a traditionally male dominated industry, so it\u2019s fantastic to see Emma secure such a key role. She is a great role model for other women who are starting out in the industry and is proof that there is no glass ceiling there if you work hard enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
