Traffic Controllers

Action Traffic Solutions is looking for multiple experienced Traffic Controllers to join our growing team and support essential vegetation and tree works across metropolitan and regional South Australia.

We’re a brand-new traffic control business within the Active group, created to support the crews delivering critical vegetation management work every day. While Action Traffic Solutions is new, we’re backed by Active Tree Services — Australia’s leading vegetation management company, with more than 50 years’ experience and long-term contracts across the state.

This isn’t traffic control for random one-off jobs. You’ll be working alongside our internal tree crews, ground teams and vegetation management workers, helping keep our people, clients and the public safe while essential works are completed.

As a Traffic Controller, you will be responsible for maintaining safe traffic flow around active worksites and supporting field crews undertaking essential works.

Your duties may include:

• Setting up and packing down traffic control sites
• Operating Stop/Slow bats and traffic control devices
• Directing vehicles, pedestrians and vulnerable road users safely through work zones
• Assisting with traffic management activities in accordance with approved traffic guidance schemes
• Communicating effectively with crews, supervisors and the public

Initially, work will align with Active Tree Services' current Monday to Friday scheduling, with opportunities for weekend, night and after-hours work as the business continues to grow.

Why choose us?

• Casual opportunities with consistent, ongoing work
• Casual rates from $37 per hour + superannuation with additional allowances applicable.
• Backed by Australia’s leading vegetation management company
• PPE and uniforms provided
• Join the foundation team of a growing South Australian traffic management business
• Be part of a strong safety culture — we make sure you are Home Safe Every day!

Do you have?

• Current Traffic Controller qualification
• A current driver’s licence is essential (MR/HR licence highly regarded)
• White Card
• A smartphone for work allocation and communication
• Experience working on traffic control sites
• Strong communication skills and a safety-first approach
• Flexibility to work across metropolitan and regional South Australia
