The Department for Infrastructure and Transport plays a vital role connecting people and places in South Australia by managing roads, marine and public transport networks across the State, and builds and maintains the State-owned infrastructure that enables the delivery of essential and important government services to our community.

The Opportunity 
Join the Rider Safe team as an Instructor, to support South Australia’s road-safety goals by delivering motor bike training and assessment across all components of the Rider Safe program.

You’ll work on weekdays and/or weekends in both metropolitan and regional locations as needed. The role may involve assisting with maintaining training ranges; the motorcycle fleet; operational tasks; and using departmental systems to record course results. A focus on customer service, quality, and compliance underpins everything you do.

Current statewide facilities are located at St Agnes, Murray Bridge, Barmera, Port Pirie, Whyalla and Millicent.
