Description

STMS – NOC Team – Napier

Join the Higgins Green Team in Napier as a Site Traffic Management Supervisor (STMS) within our Networks Outcomes Contract (NOC) — a role that offers variety, teamwork, and development opportunities beyond standard traffic management.

About the Role

This STMS position is more hands-on and team-focused than traditional STMS roles. You’ll work closely with the Leading Hand and be an integral part of the crew, contributing to a wide range of tasks:

Follow direction from the Leading Hand
Assist with labouring duties: cleaning signs, fixing potholes, responding to emergency events (e.g., road closures)
Rather than run the team, they will need to be in the team - and a great team player
Complete daily paperwork: pre-starts and on-foot risk assessments
Participate on call for a week, on a fortnightly roster. (Friday-Friday)
NOC is closer to a standard 40-hour week than Traffic which can run up to 60 hours per week in season (apart from the on call of course)

Growth & Development

This role is ideal for a mid-level STMS seeking a better work-life balance or a chance to broaden their skill set. NOC offers greater development pathways than Traffic, including:

Class 2 licence
WTR endorsements
Chainsaw operation
Highways certification

Entry-level candidates with a great attitude are also encouraged to apply - we’re open to nurturing new talent!

What You’ll Bring
