You see the big picture, you’ve always worked on a grand scale, and now you’re ready to re-focus on grand impact.

Work in an organisation based on purpose, structure and process. You know that to make a meaningful contribution to our community and economy, there needs to be diligence in our operations.

In this role, you'll:

Work within our Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) Escort Operations Management Team in the Coordinator General division at Transport for NSW, leading the day-to-day delivery of Oversize Overmass (OSOM) operations.

You will contribute to the establishment and maturing of a new operational capability, embedding safe systems of work and continuous improvement across a geographically dispersed workforce covering regional NSW. This will see you working shift patterns, on-call arrangements, weekends, and in remote locations of Regional NSW.

Your relevant escort / traffic control qualifications and / or experience will be in leading operational escort teams in industries such as transport, logistics, emergency response, or traffic/incident management environments.
