AddressJob Tasks and Responsibilities
We are looking for experienced analysts who are keen to work outdoors, have excellent driving records, and don’t mind spending long periods in a vehicle with a colleague. The position contract is full-time; however, the hours may vary as per the project's need. We work across a 7-day roster.
In addition to being a member of our data analytics team, you will also be a member of our team of trained field technicians installing survey equipment (including hammering nails into the road surface for ATC data logger installations or installing cameras on poles on the side of the road). You will be an experienced Field Team Leadand assist with recruiting and training new field technicians. You will undertake field checks to ensure that the data is recorded per the project scope and that equipment has retained its initial configuration throughout the survey period. Where outages or aberrations are identified, you will reset or repair the equipment or re-lay the road tube. Once the data is back at the office, you will be involved in the processing and analysis of the traffic and transport data.
Job duties will not be limited to:

We are looking for individuals with a high level of attention to detail and who take pride in doing a task well. Your ability to self-manage and work within a team environment are essential.
