You will be part of the transport planning and transport strategy team and there will be opportunity for you to become involved in the wide range of activities that are delivered within these teams. This may include Road Safety promotion initiatives or supporting infrastructure projects to improve safety and travel choices and organising communication and engagement activities.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• knowledge and understanding of road safety, behaviour change and travel demand management issues and opportunities in Dunedin
• excellent communication and coordination skills
• experience in managing the development and delivery of community focused programmes
• knowledge and understanding in a Transport Planning or Transport Engineering environment

What we offer:

• 5 weeks annual leave
• Supportive team environment
