Network Operator

This role requires full availability, including weekends and public holidays, as the roads we manage operate 24/7.

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges that are slowing cities down. 

About the Role
We’re seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Network Operator to help manage and monitor road network operations in real time. This role is critical to ensuring safe, efficient travel for road users by responding to incidents, coordinating with stakeholders, and operating intelligent transport systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor traffic flow and respond to incidents using ITS, CCTV, and other systems
• Coordinate with emergency services and dispatch response crews
• Operate key systems including ventilation, drainage, and fire panels
• Communicate updates via Variable Message Signs and digital platforms
• Log incidents accurately and escalate issues as needed
• Support training, mentoring, and continuous improvement initiatives

Skills & Experience

• Strong communication skills in high-pressure environments
• Sound decision-making and situational awareness
• Attention to detail and ability to follow procedures
• Ability to complete structured training and assessments
• Experience in traffic operations or emergency response coordination (preferred)

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application. 

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.  

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience – whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns. 

We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living with disability.
