  • 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.

What will you contribute?

  • Six months related experience in dispatch center or 911 operations or comparable relevant experience is preferred.

  • Experience in a position involving public contact and telephone responsibilities preferred.

  • Must be proficient with computer skills.
