AECOM is actively seeking candidates interested in a future position as a Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Coordinator in the Great Lakes region. This would be an on-site full-time position at the client’s facility. There will be intermittent statewide travel for TIM workshops, committee meetings, industry conferences and nationally for industry conferences; some overnight travel may be required.  There may be on-call 24/7 responsibilities for escalated major incident responses.The TIM Coordinator’s will focus on the following four core responsibility areas:   TIM Program ManagementEstablishing regional stakeholder relationships and incorporating them into a productive TIM Team that will meet routinely and operate under a defined charter (if said TIM Team(s) do not already exist, at which time the TIM Coordinator will actively participate while representing the client)Create a categorized list of topics that are TIM priorities for the client agency and establish specific goals under each that can be accomplished through defined initiatives.  Summarize this exercise into a TIM Program Strategic Plan.Participate in statewide conferences and workgroup meeting opportunities as a representative and speaker representing the client’s TIM program.  Broaden the program’s audience and ancillary participant base. Serves as liaison with federal, state, and local agencies in matters concerning the coordination of TIM related plans and services.Serve as a participant or champion in the development of multi-agency collaborated TIM plans in advance of major events (planned and unplanned).Production or delegation of meeting agendas, minutes, studies, and ad-hoc analyses.  This should be done in conjunction with the development of a central repository for all TIM program materials as deemed important by the client agency.Develop a TIM program marketing plan to encourage agency participation and quantify value.Incident Response Training (e.g., safety service patrol)Actively collaborate on the incident responder initial training program, keeping it current, innovative, and effective.Participate in train-the-trainer exercises, learning all agency protocols and skills associated with the client’s incident response program to facilitate training on an as-needed basis.Routinely audit and edit the incident response program’s standard operating procedures in the interest of keeping them current and relevant in the delivery of training modules.Establish a safety program designed specifically for the client’s incident response staff that includes content from the agency’s safety mandates, OSHA, and best practices from other programs operating under a similar mission.  The program should include safety tracking mechanisms, reporting protocols, auditing guidelines, and staff training.Create educational content for recurrent training to be delivered annually in safety stand-down scenarios and on a shift basis during the pre-deployment briefings.Define and maintain electronic training records for each member of the incident response and TIM program teams, including deadlines for recertification, tracking of completed training, and documented completions of specialized training (e.g., HazMat and CDL).Prepare applications (e.g., grant applications) to the federal government for planning and training funding assistance.Create ad-hoc training modules to be provided on an as-needed basis as recurrent training as topics arise (e.g., work zone law lane tapering).Introduction and Deployment of TIM TechnologyEstablish guidelines for beta-testing new technologies, including hardware and software, that will sufficiently trial potential advancements for the client’s TIM and Incident Management programs.Incorporate information technology-based solutions into the TIM program, with the intent being to increase staff safety, improve incident clearance efficiency, and enhance event data capture for future engineering solution purposes. Create and facilitate an agency technology evaluation team in cooperation with the local client.  Its purpose being to evaluate new technologies and determine their value to the client from an operational and financial standpoint.Statistical AnalysisCollect and analyze raw data outputs for the preparation of regional/statewide performance reports on mobility, operations, and TIM trends.Collaborate with data scientists (AECOM or client) to develop real-time dashboards that present events and incidents, including their associated key data points such as incident response and clear times, public notification, hotspot proximity, and severity levels.Create multi-disciplinary workgroups that will routinely review mobility, operations, and TIM reports in the interest of generating collective solutions to negative trends related to traveler safety.Establish user authority and known locations for all data streams available as related to traffic incident management.  Utilize these data streams to produce ad-hoc statistical reports based on special circumstances and requests (e.g., time-lapsed blizzard roadway incident reports, roadway infrastructure damage summaries after a major storm).
