Assistant Traffic Specialist (ATS)
Why Join us?
We are hiring! Atkins seeks talented, committed individuals to join our team in Greensboro, NC as a Traffic Operations Center Assistant Traffic Specialist. This role will provide technical support for their center which is responsible for managing traffic congestion on roadways throughout the state and responding to planned and unplanned traffic incidents including road work, vehicle crashes, and major adverse weather. TOC staff 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 TOC is a 24/7/365 communications hub and emergency response facility. Successful Assistant Traffic Specialists are organized, detail oriented, and capable of solving complex problems.
Assistant Traffic Specialists (ATS) report to the Traffic Specialist in Raleigh but must be capable of directing their own work. ATS analyze planned and unplanned traffic impacts in order to develop effective resources that will support their TOC’s response capabilities. ATS are also expected to provide hands-on support in the control room to assist with major incident response in real-time. A typical day is comprised of regularly scheduled tasks and unscheduled incident response activities. ATS must possess good time management and organizational skills while maintaining the flexibility required to adapt to shifting priorities. ATS work closely with internal/external partners and must be clear, effective communicators who reliably follow-through on their commitments.
ATS typically work Monday-Friday but must be willing to work during the hours established by the Traffic Specialist (e.g. 7am-3pm, 9am-5pm, 11am-7pm, etc.). Due to the nature of our industry and the TOC’s 24/7/365 hours of operation, candidates must be willing to work weekends and holidays as needed. ATS must be reachable by phone 24/7/365.
