Site Traffic Management Supervisor (STMS)

The STMS course qualifies the person in the role and important duties involved in the overall responsibility for the site. The STMS is the supervisor responsible for managing all aspects of the site to achieve effective protection of people at and near the site, correct direction of the traffic through the site, compliance with all necessary standards, and responsibility for safety at all times.

STMS is achieved by attending our two day STMS training course. Participants must be TC qualified; they must hold a current TC warrant to be eligible to attend. Your STMS eligibility can be confirmed by our people at the time of registration. Feel free to contact us to discuss whether you are eligible to complete STMS training, or about attending TC training. Select dates from our schedule for STMS training in Porirua and Napier.

The STMS training provides the New Zealand Transportation Agency’s (NZTA) warrant which is the nationally recognised qualification. The STMS warrant lasts for 3 years. STMS qualified people should refresh their training every three years to retain their STMS warrant. We provide STMS refresher training. View our information and dates for refresher training here
