• Compliance Management
• Maintain alignment with ISO principles and health and safety frameworks to ensure all documentation adheres to legislative and regulatory standards.
• Technical Software Utilisation
• Use specialised traffic management and CAD-based software to produce accurate traffic routing plans, site layouts, and operational diagrams.
• Stakeholder Collaboration
• Work closely with engineering, operations, and project teams to ensure the practicality and operational feasibility of traffic management plans, updating documentation as project requirements evolve.

Requirements

• Proven experience in Traffic Management Planning, TMP design, civil roading, traffic engineering, construction planning, or a related field.
• At least 1 year of hands‑on TMP design experience in New Zealand.
• Strong understanding of risk management frameworks, including hazard identification, 5x5 risk matrices, and residual risk evaluation.
• Strong familiarity with ISO principles or structured health and safety management systems.
• Ability to apply permanent road design principles within temporary traffic management environments.
• Strong computer literacy with the ability to quickly learn specialised technical planning software.
• High attention to detail with the ability to produce accurate, audit‑ready technical documentation.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills aligned with Australian professional standards.
• Experience with CAD or AutoCAD is highly advantageous, though not essential.

Software Proficiency

• Traffic Management Software: Rapid Plan or equivalent CAD-based traffic management platforms
• Design Software: AutoCAD or standard CAD software (preferred)
• Productivity Tools: Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and Outlook

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Geodetic Engineering, or a related field.
• Relevant Associate Degree or Advanced Diploma in Engineering Technology will also be considered.

• Highly analytical with a systematic and methodical approach to problem‑solving and risk evaluation.
• Detail‑oriented with a strong commitment to health, safety, and operational quality.
