The Public Transport Authority’s (PTA) vision is to be recognised as a leader in providing world-class public transport services and solutions. As part of this vision, the PTA is looking to consolidate our approach to managing “competency” across a key range of occupational groups

This will require a new and streamlined approach to competency management. As a result, the PTA is looking for an extremely knowledgeable, passionate and proven Competency Manager to join our team.

You will also represent the organisation at a national level, in terms of competency frameworks/matrices, qualifications and associated competency issues.
