About the Team

As the bus transport safety regulator, the Bus Safety Branch of TSV works with bus operators of all kinds to ensure that they provide safe bus services to their passengers. It does this through:

• permissioning processes which allow bus operations to be provided
• audit activity which checks the underlying safety systems in place by which operators manage risk
• in-field compliance activities which check for compliance whilst buses are carrying passengers.

TSV also monitors and investigates incidents to ensure their causes are understood, that safety legislation or industry practice is followed or complied with, and that lessons derived from an incident are applied to the bus business and shared across industry.

The position is primarily a field-based role, required to respond to the requirements of the broader organisation in respect to compliance and investigations issues in accordance with agreed priorities. A key focus of the role will be partnering with agencies such as Victoria Police and the National Heavy Vehicle regulator to deliver compliance, enforcement and investigations functions across Victoria. The role will also be required to progress and deliver organisational projects in accordance with Business Plan initiatives.

About You

• Knowledge and understanding of safety legislation and a demonstrated ability to interpret and administer legislation either in a road transport context, or similar regulated industries.
• Demonstrated experience in conducting investigations, producing briefs of evidence, correspondence and reports using clear, concise language on matters within the regulatory and criminal justice systems, and in providing evidence in contested matters before the courts.
• Well-developed investigative, analytical and attention to detail skills, seeking all relevant information for problem solving.
• Demonstrated experience conducting in field compliance activities showing a commitment to teamwork and relationship building while maintaining initiative and accountability for your own work.
