About TMAA

What is the purpose of TMAA?

Employment

I’m a traffic controller. How can I get a traffic job with TMAA?

TMAA is not a traffic control company and does not directly employ traffic controllers. We are the national peak body representing companies that operate in the traffic management industry. Our role is to support, advocate for, and work with the businesses that provide traffic control services, not to provide those services ourselves.

If you're looking for employment in the industry, we recommend reaching out directly to traffic management companies in your local area or exploring training and job opportunities through recognised RTOs (Registered Training Organisations).

Can TMAA help me get a job on a union site?

TMAA does not employ traffic controllers, nor do we coordinate job placements or hiring for union or non-union sites. As the national industry association, our focus is on supporting traffic control companies, advocating for industry standards, and promoting safety and professionalism across the sector.
