Safer People Specialist

You’re someone who wants to create outcomes that have a real impact on the people of NSW.

You're all about the detail and this role will allow you to drive evidence-based decision making to optimise systems and efficiency, not just for the business but for our customers too. It's data and research with impact you can see.

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.
