Meet Steve Jones, Executive Director, Safety, Safety Environment & Regulation

Steve’s looking forward to making a positive difference to the safety of our people, customers and community in his new role of Executive Director, Safety.

What was your last job?

I was a member of the Executive at Sydney Metro to lead, drive and manage all safety and operational activities to successfully deliver Australia’s first fully automated railway system.

What’s your biggest achievement to date?

One I'll call-out is being awarded the UK National Rail Award for outstanding personal contribution to the UK rail industry.

Another would be my team at Sydney Metro being awarded the NSW Premier’s Award for ‘Making NSW a better place to live’ in recognition of our program which provided skills and employment opportunities to the people of NSW.

I also had the privilege of being appointed A/Deputy Secretary of the Safety, Environment and Regulation (SER) at Transport for NSW during a time of unprecedented transformational change. I’m especially proud of the work that was done to establish SER’s top line structure with the dedication, support and input from many across Transport.

What are you most looking forward to in your new role?

I look forward to setting the strategic safety agenda which will drive us towards a generative safety culture. I want to make a positive difference to the safety of our people, customers and the community.

I am also looking forward to hitting the road and meeting my team across the state. I hope to gain insights, explore possibilities and understand the unique needs and challenges for Safety Branch.

Above all else, I want to create a positive and friendly working environment and provide my team with an opportunity to make an impact, all while having a laugh along the way.
