Eligibility: Open to Everyone

We’re searching for an Engineering Drafting Officer to help us shape a safer, more efficient transport network for South Australia - now and for the future.

This is an exciting opportunity to kick-start your career in traffic engineering and apply your skills to work for our State in a collaborative and supportive environment.

At the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, we are connecting South Australia to keep our State moving. Our work encompasses every part of our State; from our cities to our regions, connecting and strengthening community.

The Opportunity

The Network Management Services Team provides an end-to-end traffic management service and control centre to optimise the effectiveness of South Australia’s transport network.

As an Engineering Drafting Officer, your primary responsibilities will include conducting traffic and site investigations, preparing technical reports, and providing insights that improve road safety. Day-to-day, you’ll utilise tools such as Auto CAD to draft and review traffic plans, road designs, and amendments.

You’ll work closely with internal and external stakeholders, contributing to the preparation of drawings and technical documents. Whether you’re reviewing traffic plans for road signs, pavement markings, or signal displays, or evaluating pedestrian and traffic volumes, you will get involved in the provision of technical advice and troubleshooting ensuring the delivery of successful technical and safety services.

About You

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic person who can connect with stakeholders, understand customer needs and provide technical advice and solutions.

You will have a team focussed approach, enjoy problem-solving and demonstrate good communication skills, both written and verbal and have experience in utilising road design software packages such as Auto CAD.

If you're ready to contribute to the success of one of South Australia's largest organisations, we'd love to hear from you! Reach out for a chat about your skills and qualifications or interests in working across traffic management services, engineering technician services and engineering drafting.
