Traffic & Transport
Engineering Secondments
We provide experienced traffic and transport engineers to work within your team — filling a capability or capacity gap for a defined period.
What it is
An engineering secondment places one of our engineers into your organisation — a council, agency, consultancy or contractor — to work as part of your team for an agreed period. It's the answer when you need traffic or transport capability temporarily: to cover a vacancy or leave, to add capacity through a busy period, or to bring in specific expertise for a project, without a permanent hire.
When you need it
You need it when your team is short of traffic/transport capability for a defined stretch: a role you're recruiting for, a workload peak, a project needing a particular skill, or peer support for a small team. It suits councils and agencies managing referral and assessment workloads and consultancies managing delivery peaks.
Who requires it
Local government and state agencies, engineering and planning consultancies, and contractors and project teams needing to supplement in-house traffic/transport capability for a period.
What Arcvia assesses
With you, we define the role, the skills and seniority required, the duration and working arrangement (on-site, remote or hybrid), and the outcomes expected — then match an appropriately experienced engineer from our team. We're clear about what the secondee can and can't cover, so expectations are set correctly.
What you receive
An experienced traffic/transport engineer working within your team for the agreed period and arrangement, contributing to your assessments, designs, reviews or advice, with clear terms around scope, duration and responsibilities.
Standards, guidelines & authorities
Seconded engineers work to the standards, systems and quality requirements of your organisation and the relevant Australian standards for the work involved. Where the role requires specific registration (for example RPEQ in Queensland), we confirm that the engineer holds it before placement.
Information we need for your fee proposal
The role and skills needed; the seniority level; the duration and working arrangement; on-site or remote; any registration requirement; and your start timeframe.
Our process
- Scoping — define the role, skills, duration and arrangement.
- Fee proposal — terms and fee in writing.
- Matching — propose an appropriately experienced engineer.
- Placement — the secondee works within your team.
- Review — check in on the arrangement and adjust as needed.
Frequently asked questions
In a secondment, our engineer works inside your team, to your systems and direction, for a set period — effectively temporary capability within your organisation. A standard consultancy engagement is us delivering a defined piece of work to you. Secondment suits capacity and capability gaps; project engagement suits discrete deliverables.
Yes — depending on the role, secondments can be on-site, remote or hybrid. We agree the working arrangement with you up front so it fits how your team operates.
Traffic and transport engineering and planning roles across our service areas — assessment, design, review, advisory and technical support — at a seniority level matched to your need. We're honest at scoping about what we can and can't cover.
No. This is professional engineering secondment — an experienced engineer contributing to your team's work under clear professional terms. It is not a labour-hire or on-hire arrangement, and we describe it as what it is.
