Traffic Management Officer careers
A Traffic Management Officer is responsible for planning, implementing, and monitoring traffic control measures to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Their duties often include developing traffic management plans, coordinating with local authorities and construction teams, setting up and maintaining signage and barriers, and responding to incidents or disruptions on roads.
They play a key role in minimizing traffic congestion and ensuring compliance with safety regulations during roadworks, public events, or emergencies. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of traffic laws and safety standards are essential for this role.
