Greensboro, North Carolina, United States of America

Overview

We are seeking a Traffic Management Specialist (TMS) at the Traffic Operations Center in Greensboro, NC .

This role will manage traffic congestion on roadways throughout the state and respond to planned and unplanned traffic incidents including road work, vehicle crashes, and major adverse weather. TMS use an array of technologies to monitor and detect traffic incidents, to prevent and resolve traffic impacts, and to interface with emergency responders and the traveling public. The Traffic Operations Center (TOC) is a 24/7/365 communications hub and emergency response facility. Successful TMS are complex problem-solvers and dedicated public servants.

TMS work under supervision but must be capable of directing their own work in accordance with their training and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

TMS who are reliable, proficient, and focused will find many avenues for learning and opportunities for career advancement.

Candidates interested must be able to work first shift (5:15AM – 1:45pm) on site. The training will take at least 2 weeks to be completed, and it will be administered in the morning schedule Monday through Friday in Raleigh, NC. Due to the nature of our industry, candidates must be willing to work weekends and holidays as needed.

Your role

  • Detect and monitor traffic incidents using congestion maps, traffic cameras, responder radios and other technologies.
  • Determine the appropriate response to traffic incidents by assessing incident characteristics, traffic impacts, available resources, and other factors.
  • Document incident details, response activity, and other critical data in real-time.
  • Publish incident details on the DriveNC.gov website and create other traveller information to help motorists avoid impacted roadways.
  • Activate electronic roadside message boards to warn motorists of hazardous travel conditions and to reroute traffic around affected areas.
  • Actively seek out incident details and relay critical intel to NCDOT and other emergency responders in real-time.
  • Dispatch NCDOT's'incident management assistance patrol (IMAP) and coordinate with NCDOT field staff including maintenance and traffic signal technicians.
  • Manage statewide alerts for missing persons (Amber & Silver Alerts) and law enforcement alerts (Blue & Fugitive Alerts).
  • Handle mass intake and output of weather information and roadway conditions during major adverse weather events including Hurricanes and Tropical Storms.
  • Coordinate with DOT agencies from other states and serve as primary point of contact for NC traffic operations.
  • Research, identify and review planned construction, maintenance, and special events and activities as required.
  • Execute response plans for planned events and unplanned incidents.
  • Perform routine device and systems tests to support timely repairs and overall system health.
  • May perform other assignments as the Supervisor may deem necessary from time to time.
