Traffic & Transport Data Collection - Field Technician

You will be a member of our team of trained Field Technicians installing survey equipment; the tasks mainly involve nailing road tubes onto the road for ATC data logger installations or installing cameras on poles on the side of the road. 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.

We are looking for individuals 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 casual as the start/end times will vary each day/week, though regular hours will be from 30+ per week, as suits your availability. We work across a 7-day roster.

Surveys are undertaken in metropolitan and rural areas and you may be required to work away from home for 2-3 days at a time (we provide accommodation and meal allowances).

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 will be appreciated.

Data quality control is critical to us, and we maintain high standards across all areas of Data Collection, processing and analysis.
