Junior Traffic Management Planner (NZ) - Work from home

We are seeking a Junior Traffic Management Planner to join a dynamic team. You will develop safe, compliant, and practical traffic management plans using industry-standard tools. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is committed to continuous improvement in traffic management planning.

Develop and prepare compliant Temporary Traffic Management Plans (TMPs), drawings, and supporting documentation in accordance with NZTA CoPTTM, NZGTTM, local authority requirements, and current New Zealand traffic management legislation using RapidPlan, myTTM, and other industry-standard tools.

Manage the full TMP workflow from job request through submission, including interpreting job briefings, preparing site-specific plans, lodging applications via council portals (including MyWorkSites where applicable), and tracking revisions, RFIs, and resubmissions.

Deliver practical, safe, and high-quality traffic management solutions that protect road users, workers, and the public while minimising disruption and meeting authority, contractor, and client approval requirements.

Coordinate with internal teams, supervisors, field staff, clients, and operational divisions (including civil works and tree services) to clarify requirements, resolve compliance and design queries, and ensure plans are implementable on site.

Handle a high-volume workload of approximately 15–20 TMP applications per week, balancing both small and large projects while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and turnaround times.

Apply internal risk assessment and profiling processes, maintain strong knowledge of NZTA CoPTTM, NZGTTM, local authority traffic management requirements, and safety regulations, and stay up to date with changes to legislation, systems, and industry practices.

Support continuous improvement by assisting with onboarding and training for new systems and compliance requirements, contributing to workflow and template enhancements, and providing guidance to junior team members as required.
