Senior Traffic Planner – Help Shape What’s Next

With a strong pipeline of work and a team that continues to grow, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Traffic Planner to join our Venture Smart team.

If you bring strong technical experience, a practical mindset and a genuine team-first attitude, this is an opportunity to step into a role where your expertise and ideas will have a real impact.

What You’ll Get

• The opportunity to influence how traffic planning is approached and delivered
• A supportive, high-performing team with low egos and high standards
• Ongoing training, development and upskilling opportunities
• Flexibility and trust to manage your work in a way that works for you
• Stability backed by a strong, long-term pipeline of projects
• A positive team culture where people enjoy working together and take pride in what they do

About the Role

This role is about more than developing traffic management plans. You’ll support both maintenance and capital projects, working with delivery and operational teams to ensure works are planned safely, efficiently and practically.

It’s a hands-on role combining technical planning, problem-solving and collaboration. You’ll provide technical guidance, develop practical solutions and help improve how traffic management is delivered across our projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing traffic management plans from initial concept through to detailed delivery
• Working closely with operational teams to ensure plans are practical, achievable and buildable
• Analysing traffic data to support safe, efficient and effective outcomes
• Liaising with clients, stakeholders and delivery teams to maintain clear communication
• Providing technical advice and guidance when challenges arise
• Supporting continuous improvement in planning processes and delivery

What We’re Looking For

We’re less interested in box-ticking and more interested in how you work, think and contribute to a team.

Essential

• AWTM qualification
• Strong experience in traffic planning, traffic signals and risk management
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A collaborative, hands-on approach
• The ability to work confidently with operational and project delivery teams

Desirable

• AutoCAD experience
• Experience working across both maintenance and project environments

You’ll Fit In Here If You Are

• Proactive, practical and solutions-focused
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-moving environment
• A team player who supports others and is comfortable raising issues constructively
• Someone who takes pride in doing things properly without overcomplicating things
• Confident enough to bring your ideas and experience to the table
• Keen to keep learning and grow alongside the business

Why Join Us?

Venture Smart is a team on the rise. Our people are growing, our workload is expanding, and we’re building a culture we’re genuinely proud of.

You’ll join a down-to-earth team that combines great humour with high standards and a genuine commitment to supporting one another. Our leaders trust people to take ownership of their work, provide support when it’s needed, and give you the freedom and space to make a meaningful difference.

If you’re looking for a role where you can bring your experience, have a genuine voice, and be part of a team with ambition and momentum, we’d love to hear from you.
