You’re someone who wants to create outcomes that have a real impact on the people of NSW.
You're looking to contribute to the transformation of the transport sector towards a greener and more sustainable future. You want to actively participate in shaping policies and initiatives that reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy adoption, and enhance the overall environmental performance of the transport network.
In this role, you'll:
Support the development, delivery and evaluation of road safety behavioural programs across a range of focus areas, including speeding, drink and drug driving, fatigue, driver distraction, novice and older drivers, youth, cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and Aboriginal road safety.
You'll conduct research and analysis to inform policy and behavioural change initiatives, provide specialist advice on road user behaviour, and contribute to evidence-based road safety outcomes. Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, you'll prepare high-quality briefings and represent Transport for NSW on relevant working groups and committees.
