  You put people at the heart and take pride in the impact of your work.

  Work in an organisation based on purpose, structure and process. You know that to make a meaningful contribution to our community and economy, there needs to be diligence in our operations.

  In this role, you'll:

  Be responsible for coordinating and preparing Transport for NSW (TfNSW) responses to planning authorities and private developers for land use planning and development proposals across the South Region of the NSW in accordance with relevant legislation, statutory timeframes, policy and guidelines.

  The Transport Planner role sits within the Development Services Unit in the Community and Place Branch, and supports a dedicated geographic portfolio in the South Region of NSW, coordinating and preparing responses to development applications that have potential impacts on state road infrastructure. Critical thinking is key for the role. You need to have the ability to review multiple development applications, in a time-critical environment and assess their transport impacts – this requires high-level problem-solving, creativity, and a refusal to accept things at face value.

You will need to be able to build rapport and develop strong stakeholder relations across multiple internal and external sources. You will need to leverage these relationships to seek the appropriate advice and information required to inform your decisions, as well as negotiate outcomes and overcome challenges.

  You need to have the ability to review multiple development applications, in a time critical environment and assess their transport impacts – this requires high level problem-solving, creativity, and a refusal to accept things at face value.
