Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has created more than 80 new full-time jobs across regional NSW to help deliver its regional roads and transport pipeline during the State’s third consecutive La Nina event.
Announced by Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Sam Farraway, TfNSW is looking for locals to fill the new positions based in Orange, Dubbo, Bowenfels and Parkes in the Central West, Coonabarabran, Narrabri and Moree in the North and Broken Hill in the Far West.
“From road workers, truck drivers and plant operators to team leaders and project engineers, we are recruiting local people to work in their communities,” Mr Farraway said.
“The recent rain has wreaked havoc on our road network and our priority has been to repair these roads as quickly as possible by redirecting teams working on some of our major projects to assist with disaster repairs,” he said.
“With a substantial number of works happening all over the State and in particular in the western region, we are strengthening our workforce to ensure our projects remain on track.”
Mr Farraway said the jobs consisted of 55 newly created full-time roles, as well as 28 temporary contract positions being converted to full-time jobs.
“I really want locals to fill these positions and I encourage people interested to visit the Transport website,” he said.
