Form of work
SalaryTransport for NSW keeps our State moving by providing safe, integrated and efficient transport systems. We put our customers at the centre of everything we do - and we do a lot. We connect people, communities and industry and manage how they use our road, rail and maritime networks and services, and even active modes like walking and cycling. The work we do connects the journeys you take every day.
We are a state government organisation made up of more than 28,000 people and we're in the middle of delivering the largest transport infrastructure program in Australia's history. We work across planning, policy and procurement, harnessing data and technology to develop smarter and more adaptive transport solutions.
That means job opportunities in metropolitan and regional areas right across NSW - you have the chance to be part of creating a lasting legacy that will benefit generations to come.
Greater Sydney Division
Our division is redefining integrated transport choices to improve the lives of customers and communities, making Greater Sydney a better place to live, work and play.
We have the single biggest place making opportunity at Transport in the coming years - reshaping Greater Sydney into a metropolis of three cities - Eastern Harbour City, Central River City (Parramatta) and Western Parkland City.
Greater Sydney is focused on these three unique cities and delivering a joined-up transport network and services, to ensure these cities become the places that their customers and communities really want.
The Opportunity
Joining a close-knit group in the Solutions Development Western team, the Network Development Officer is responsible for contributing to the development of multi-modal road and safety road network projects, delivering traffic and transport impact assessments and assisting in the assurance of optimum performance and integration for Sydney's arterial road (and active transport) network in the Western Parkland City region.
The team work collaboratively across a very broad range of minor and major projects and initiatives, to support the achievement of NSW government's vision and priorities in areas like Greater Macarthur Growth Area, Greater Penrith and Eastern Creek, as well as Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
Some key accountabilities for the role include:
- Identify traffic and safety and network performance issues and assist with the development of network projects to address the specific, integrated needs of freight, road based public transport, pedestrians, cyclists and general vehicles.
- Liaise with proponents, wider Planning & Programs branch and other relevant stakeholders as required to ensure specific projects are developed in line with defined corridor strategies and address immediate to short term network performance issues that have been identified and prioritised.
- Contribute to the examination and assessment of traffic management plans and provide expert advice on major road and road related capital projects to TfNSW staff and other private and public bodies to ensure optimum traffic flow performance, road safety and network integration during construction and operation.
- Assist with the assessment and selection of project nominations and proposals to ensure the optimum solutions are fully developed to meet the objectives of integrated road transport management.
About You
The role will suit someone with experience investigating and contributing to the development of traffic, safety and congestion programs, transport systems management and traffic engineering practice and traffic modelling.
You will have the ability to work independently and contribute effectively, in a supportive team environment whilst maintaining a high level of work ethic. The role has a lot of projects on the go at any one point in time, and requires high level problem-solving, creativity, and perseverance, and solid planning and prioritisation skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential. You will need to be able to build rapport and develop strong stakeholder relations across multiple sources, take end-to-end responsibility for a body of work, and manage expectations and deliverables.
You will need to leverage these relationships to seek the appropriate advice and information required to inform your decisions, as well as negotiate outcomes and overcome challenges.
The home office for the role is based at Parramatta, and it is expected that you will work from this location at least two days per week. Transport for NSW offers flexible working arrangements and supports a balance of office and work from home options.
