• Coach and review the work of junior modellers/analysts, contributing to capability uplift across the team (where relevant to level)

• Current RPEQ registration (or eligibility to obtain it within a short timeframe), with the ability to undertake and sign off engineering work in accordance with QLD legislative requirements
• Hands-on proficiency in one or more of VISSIM, Aimsun, SIDRA (and a willingness to broaden your toolkit)
