Employer Profile

Representing one of the world's most expansive road networks, we are committed to

working cooperatively and productively across all levels of government, to ensure our

road network meets the needs of the community, industry and stakeholders.

 

Our Aspiration: To provide world class outcomes for the customer through a safe, reliable

and sustainable road transport system. We are responsible for the delivery and

management of a safe and efficient main road network in WA through operations

including:

• Building the state's major government road infrastructure projects;

• Providing infrastructure and operations that improve road efficiency resulting in
  improvements in traffic and freight levels of service;

• Maintaining the state's major government roads, bridges, verges and reserves;

• Using technology to optimise the real-time management of the network and providing
  traveller information; and

• Improving community amenity through the development and roadside stopping
  places, the incorporation or public art into infrastructure and understanding the needs
  of all transport users.

 

Our strategic direction - Keeping WA Moving - will guide us through our rapidly changing environment.

 

Five strategic areas of focus form the backbone of Keeping WA Moving, which are customers, movement, sustainability, safety, and capability. Delivering outcomes against each of these five areas are helping us ensure that we continue to deliver value to everyone in Western Australia.

 

We understand that everybody is unique. Each individual journey will be encouraged and supported by our dedicated Development Employee team alongside extensive professional training and we can’t wait to watch you grow!
