You are a calm and capable operational professional who can think on your feet, communicate effectively and manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment.

To be successful, you will have:

• Experience in transport operations, service coordination, scheduling, control room environments or depot operations.
• Strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Experience managing multiple stakeholders in a live operational environment.
• The ability to remain calm and make sound decisions under pressure.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to be part of a team responsible for delivering critical transport services that keep communities moving. You'll work in a collaborative operational environment where no two days are the same and where your contribution has a direct impact on service delivery and customer outcomes.

If you're an operationally minded professional who enjoys coordinating complex services and responding to challenges in real time, we'd love to hear from you.
