Traffic controller labour hire

Ticketed traffic controllers for roadworks, civil, utility and rail-adjacent sites. Screened, PPE-equipped and holding current traffic control tickets, from a single controller for a day to full crews for a project.

Traffic Controllers supplied by TradeConnex

Hiring traffic controllers through TradeConnex

Any work on or beside a road needs traffic managed to the approved plan, and a short-staffed traffic crew can stop a whole site. We supply traffic controllers who hold current tickets, know how to work to a traffic guidance scheme and turn up ready for an early start.

Traffic control is one of the hard-to-fill roles on civil and infrastructure projects. We supply controllers alongside the civil labourers and plant operators we already place on roads and highways, utilities and rail projects.

Every controller goes through our three-stage screening, and we check they hold current traffic control accreditation for the state they’ll work in before they’re put forward.

What they do on site

  • Control traffic with stop-slow bats at work sites
  • Set up, maintain and pack down signage and devices to the traffic guidance scheme
  • Manage pedestrians, cyclists and site vehicles at access points
  • Keep the work zone safe for crews and the public
  • Communicate with the site team and supervisors by radio
