Road Safety Technology Operator Team Leader

Road Safety Technology Operator Team Leader | Lead Field Operations

You will build and create the Road Safety Technology Operator (RSTO) team in the ACT, running the deployment of Acusensus enforcement trailers and vehicles that detect dangerous driving. Your work supports enforcement programs that help reduce road trauma.

About us

Acusensus is an organisation founded with a simple but compelling belief, that nobody should die on our roads. We build the technology that detects the Fatal Five dangerous driving behaviours; speeding, mobile phone use, seatbelt non-compliance, fatigue, and drug or alcohol impairment and supports the enforcement programs that change them. We delivered the world’s first mobile phone detection program in New South Wales and the world’s first automated mobile device and seatbelt program in Queensland. Now we are building a new team in the ACT after recently winning a contract.

The Opportunuty

As RSTO Team Leader, you lead our ACT field operations team and act as a key representative for Acusensus. You will mentor your team, coordinate deployments and make sure every activity meets our standards for safety, compliance and quality.

What you’ll do:

• Build a lead a new team of 12 Enforcement Trailer Operators (ETO) and Mobile Speed Camera Operators (MSCO) across recruitment, development, performance management, training, timesheets, rostering, and WHS compliance and reporting.

To be upfront about the demands: the work is outdoors in all weather, includes early starts, evenings or weekends when deployments need it, and involves short-notice domestic travel for short periods.
