The Opportunity
Traffix Group is coming to Adelaide!
As an established specialist traffic and transport engineering consultancy, Traffix Group has built its reputation around technical capability, strong client relationships and, importantly, its people.
As the business expands into South Australia, an opportunity is available for a Senior Associate to play a leading role in establishing and growing its Adelaide presence.
This is not simply an prospect to join another established team. You will have the chance to help build one.
Working closely with Traffix Group's Directors and senior leaders, you will take ownership of key client relationships, lead complex traffic and transport projects and help develop the company's presence within the South Australian market. As the Adelaide operation grows, there is significant opportunity to build and lead a local team around you.
Importantly, you will have the autonomy of helping establish something new without having to do it alone. Traffix Group has senior specialists across transport planning, traffic impact assessment, road safety, intersection and parking design, traffic management and other areas who can provide technical support and expertise when required.

As Senior Associate, you will combine technical leadership, project delivery, client management, people leadership and business development.
Your responsibilities will include:

Preparing fee proposals and identifying opportunities for repeat and new work
Developing Traffix Group's relationships and market presence within South Australia
Leading, mentoring and developing engineers as the Adelaide team grows
Contributing to business planning, resource management and broader growth initiatives
Working closely with Directors and senior leaders across the wider business
The position has genuine influence beyond individual project delivery, with Senior Associates contributing to business management, growth initiatives and internal leadership.
The Like Mind
This opportunity will suit an established traffic and transport professional who enjoys the technical side of engineering but is equally motivated by clients, people and building a business.
You will ideally bring:
A Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) or equivalent
10+ years' experience within traffic and transport engineering
Broad technical knowledge across traffic and transport engineering




Experience leading complex projects and managing commercial outcomes
Strong client relationships and business development capability
The ability to mentor and develop engineers
Strong communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills
Commercial awareness and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
An interest in playing a meaningful role in growing a new Adelaide operation
