About The Team & Role

As a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) Officer, you will be responsible for delivering TROs in accordance with legislation, design standards, and council policies.

Additionally, you will provide professional support to other teams, offering advice on legislation and regulations.

About You

As a Traffic Regulation Order Officer, you will have comprehensive knowledge and understanding of all aspects of TRO work, including interpreting and applying highway legislation and regulations. You will have experience in building productive relationships with other teams to ensure that highway projects meet their objectives.

You will possess excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, the ability to audit construction works related to a TRO, and the ability to make logical and rational decisions.
