What you’ll bring:

• Current STMS Cat A / Cat B Practising Warrant
• Strong background in traffic management across varied sites
• Confidence leading crews and making decisions on the go
• Full Class 1 Licence (Class 2 is a bonus)
• Flexibility for on-call work and night shifts when required
• Good level of fitness, this is a hands-on role
