In this role, you'll:

You will monitor and assess congestion and delays to motorways, tunnels and surrounding road network and ensure unplanned traffic incidents are responded to on a priority basis. You will minimise the effect of individual incidents on the network by applying the appropriate computer system-based responses while providing up to date information to road and transport stakeholders.

We have 6 x Permanent, Full Time positions located at our Transport Management Centre (TMC) in Eveleigh, NSW.
