**Ko wai mātou - About Us**

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) investigates significant aviation, rail, and marine accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future.

The Commission has set a visionary goal of “No Repeat Accidents - Ever”

Our values shape how we work and deliver our outcomes:
Hunga Whakarāmemene - One Team

Whakahī akoranga - Pride in our professionalism

Whakaute ki nuinga - Respect for others

We respect the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and are dedicated to diversity, equity, inclusion, health, and wellbeing.

**Ngā kawenga - About the role**

Rail Investigators undertake thorough accident site examinations and evidence collection, review, research and analyse the evidence, before producing inquiry reports, finding and recommendations for the Commission.

We’re looking to expand our rail team and are looking for two rail experts to join the Wellington, New Zealand team as Investigators.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako - Skills and experience**

***
Ideally, you’ll be degree qualified and have an extensive rail background. While we’re very keen to hear from those with civil and track engineering or rail traction experience, we are particularly interested in those with rail transport infrastructure, or rolling stock expertise.

Alongside this, you will have excellent communication skills - a key part of an Investigator’s work is writing significant and robust investigation reports and ably articulating any aspect of the accident investigation to audiences of any level.
- excellent analytical and problem solving capability, with very strong attention to detail
- an innate ability to think logically, anticipate risk, and identify solutions
- proven project management experience
- outstanding relationship management skills
- knowledge and experience, or a willingness to learn about Te Tiriti, Tikanga, te reo and te ao Māori.
- the emotional and psychological maturity to handle stressful and emotionally difficult situations - as well as being medically and physically fit.

Given the nature of investigative work, you’ll need to be agile, able to work collaboratively and positively with like-minded professionals, and have high levels of diplomacy, tact and professionalism, particularly when deployed to accident sites. This role will involve travel and overnight stays.

In return, you can develop your accident investigation career in a supportive and development focused environment, within an internationally regarded organisation clearly focused on the avoidance of repeat accidents.
