Following up on our conversation about looking for outside talent to fill one of my Manager-Capacity Planning jobs.
These are key jobs that work with the operating region, dispatch center, Engineering, and Finance functions to develop capacity projects and strategies on an entire region. It is not unusual for one of these people to be on the ground stomping around a project site, on a business car with the regional VP, and in front of UP's chief operating officer, all within a period of a few days. So he or she needs to be very competent, seasoned, and able to creatively think "railroad."
A basic understanding of train movement, rail capacity, and bottlenecks is obviously important.
Business skills are also critical. Valuable solutions usually represent a compromise, emphasizing greatest benefits for reasonable cost.
We've had many internal applicants. This is an opportunity to bring some outside perspective into Union Pacific, and it's an excellent opportunity for the right person to join the company in a high-visibility role.
So I'm sending some notes around to people like you who may know of someone who could handle this job and would like a chance to work for a Class-I railroad.
We'd really appreciate any help you could give us pointing such talent our way.
Thanks,
Tom
