STMS Mobile

About the STMS Mobile qualification

Who is the training for?

An additional STMS role has been added for those STMS who regularly undertake work activities that move along the road or beside the road. For more information please read the handbook.

The best way to process and consider if this is for you would be if you at some point need to also do traditional traffic management closures like shoulder closures, pedestrian diversions, lane diversions or Stop/Go, then you are most likely better suited to complete the normal CAT A, B or C - STMS training as that includes doing Mobile + Static closures (IE both).
Whereas this course plus the followed assessments is all about Mobile Operations therefore designed for those who only implement and run mobile operations and may decide to attend this instead of the CAT A, B or C STMS training.

What activities are covered by the new training?

Mobile activities that occur off the live lane (like mowing a berm)
Mobile activities that occur on the live lane (like road marking)
Mobile activities that are stationary for no more than 10 minutes

Where static advance warning and works end signs are used to replace a tail pilot these signs can be installed by the STMS mobile (practicing) as part of their duties.

What activities are NOT covered by the new training?

Mobile operations to install, amend or maintain and remove TTM for static worksites
A mobile operation that requires the work activity to be stationary for more than 10 minutes (eg a semi-static operation)
Mobile activities within 2m of the edge line or on the lane of a category C road environment
Semi Static Closures

Where static advance warning and works end signs or a tail pilot is required on a Cat C road, an STMS Cat C must install and remove the TTM equipment.

Duration and type of learning

The learning consists of a one-day knowledge workshop delivered by a TTM Trainer. On successful completion of the theory part, you will be awarded with the STMS Mobile Non-Practising warrant.
This is followed by on-job coaching from a TTM Mentor.
Once you are ready and feel confident, you can then book in for the Verified/Assessments tasks. On successful completion of this part, you will be awarded with the STMS Mobile Practising warrant.

Unlike some other courses, there are no Unit Standards for this course (not registered with Connexis etc) there is only the NZTA Warrant.
