**The role**

We're seeking a Human Factors Senior Advisor to join the specialist services team supporting accident investigations. You'll provide expert human factors advice on the interaction between the human, the machine, and environment, across rail, marine, and aviation accidents.

You'll lead and champion our culture of evidence-informed decision making, and develop our human factors related guidance and tools to support our investigators and support our human factors knowledge transfer.

Your expert input will be vital throughout investigation lifecycles and includes attending accident sites at times to secure and gather evidence, providing your expertise and guidance throughout the investigation and report process, including appearing regularly before the Commission.

**Skills and experience**

To be considered for this position, we'd like to see:

- A Masters or PhD in a field relevant to the study of human factor issues

and experience in:

In addition you'll have:

- ideally, some investigative experience
- excellent communication skills - including top-notch writing skills and the ability to convey complex and technical information easily
- a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
- outstanding relationship management skills
- energy, vigour, and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.

As you will need to attend accident sites, emotional maturity, a good degree of fitness, and the ability to pass a full medical is required. This role is based in our central Wellington office.

**About the organisation**

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. Multi-disciplinary teams investigate and analyse the circumstances of these occurrences, supporting the Commission to consider the facts, and make findings and recommendations to improve transport safety, rather than to ascribe blame.

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

This is a highly specialised role, and while you might not meet all of the requirements, we do require the high level tertiary qualification specialising in human factor issues, so we're keen to hear from human factors experts working within public and private sectors, including academia.

Applications close **5pm Monday 28 October 2024**.

For further information, a detailed job description or to have a conversation about the role, please contact **Jacaleen Williams on 021 732 996**, or **Harleen Verma on 027 326 2129** at Talent International.

Do note, applicants must have the ability to live and work in New Zealand to be eligible.
