Description

Overview of the role

As a Transport Safety Investigator (TSI), you will be required to work both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Depending on your past experience, your first year will involve formal (RMIT Graduate Certificate), and on-the-job training to learn how to investigate and help you apply ATSB’s specific investigation methodology, and you will initially concentrate on less complex investigations. You will lead multiple investigations at any point in time. With on-the-job training in ATSB’s investigation methodology, you will become involved in larger and more systemic investigations and also work to support other investigators seeking your industry knowledge.  

Each investigation is different and will require differing levels of research, evidence collection, analysis, and documentation of your findings to meet the needs of different audiences.  You will also be required to build and maintain effective internal and external stakeholder relationships. The ATSB takes safety seriously, which is why we have multiple levels of checking and enquiry to ensure the findings and outcomes for each report are solid and can stand up to external scrutiny.  

Investigators work in accordance with the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003, its subordinate legislation, and ATSB policies and procedures.
