We organize internal traffic safety courses and courses for our operating contractors, as well as keeping management, politicians and others updated on statistics, incidents, new professional knowledge, etc. We also answer questions and inquiries about road safety from citizens, municipalities, the media and politicians. We collaborate extensively with the police, Trygg Trafikk, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, other county councils and municipalities, and we contribute to tasks for FTU (the county's road safety committee).

Tasks

The traffic coordinator will be the traffic liaison between internal and external client environments that carry out measures on the county road network, the traffic safety environment, communication advisors and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. In order to safeguard traffic safety and traffic flow on county roads in the best possible way in the event of road closures and detours, the traffic coordinator must be involved in the early project phase. This is to be able to plan and assess traffic consequences and risks holistically, and in the context of other activities on the road network, including dialogue with municipalities and any others that may be affected.

The traffic coordinator must be able to have a practical and solution-oriented approach within the framework of laws and regulations we relate to. Various tools for information about traffic and incidents must be used in the work. In the course of 2026, the plan is for the county councils to gain access to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration's Activity Calendar, and the traffic coordinator will have to familiarize themselves with and use this tool. The activity calendar is a web- and map-based solution that retrieves data from APV (work notification on roads - application and case processing) and shows planned and ongoing activity on the road network.

The position is newly created, and we want an employee who has the expertise and experience to help shape the position and propose a routine in the organization for how we best solve the task.

It is desirable that our employees in the unit have different and complex skills and backgrounds, in order to complement each other in a road safety team. All employees in the unit will to a greater or lesser extent have to vary and adapt to the tasks that need to be solved at any given time, so the position also means that you must be able to contribute to the implementation of the unit's other tasks.

Qualifications

• relevant work experience
• relevant education from university, college or vocational school, preferably in road and traffic engineering subjects. Lack of education can be compensated with relevant work experience.
• knowledge of N301 Work on and near roads and the Sign Regulations
• driving license class B, knowledge of Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene
• good oral communication skills

desired characteristics

• good collaboration skills - you must be a team player
• tidy, structured and able to prioritize your workday
• flexible and open - must be able to adapt to changes and new tasks
• independent - can acquire the necessary skills and information yourself
