TOC Traffic Management Specialist
Why Join us?
We are hiring! Atkins seeks talented, committed individuals to join our team of Traffic Management Specialists (TMS) at the Traffic Operations Center in Ashville, 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 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 also work in a team environment and must be able to communicate clearly and take direction in real-time. A typical day is comprised of regularly scheduled tasks and unscheduled incident response activities. TMS must possess good time management skills and maintain continuous, situational awareness while on duty. TMS regularly engage with numerous internal/external partners and must be able to communicate confidently and professionally. Most TOC team members began their traffic ops careers in the TMS role. TMS who are reliable, proficient, and focused will find many avenues for learning and opportunities for career advancement.
We are currently hiring for TMS on either 1st Shift (6 AM – 2 PM) or 2nd Shift (2 PM – 10 PM). Interested candidates must be able to work at least one of these shifts. Due to the nature of our industry, candidates must be willing to work outside of their normal shift hours, including weekends and holidays as needed. Initial TOC training occurs during the first 6-8 weeks of employment and will be administered 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday through Friday. After initial training, TMS will transition to their assigned shift.
