Keep Launnie Moving

Every trip across Launceston relies on a transport network that works, whether it’s the school run, the morning commute or a delivery heading across town. As our City’s Traffic Engineer, you’ll be the one keeping it all moving.

You’ll work closely with colleagues, community members and external partners to get safe and efficient transport outcomes for the region. And because we’re big on work life balance, you may have access to a 9 day fortnight or 4 day week depending on your role, along with Wellness Leave and Fitness Passport.

Key responsibilities of this position include:

- Plan and model transport network performance and future transport needs
- Run traffic modelling, interpret data and prepare technical reports
- Provide engineering advice on traffic design standards, codes and legislation
- Investigate road safety, parking and traffic issues and recommend practical solutions
