Having worked in the traffic management industry for 17 years, Piotr has completed all the NHSS12 courses and assessments and is currently studying for the Temporary Traffic Management Diploma to develop his highway engineering knowledge.

Three years ago, he moved to Chevron Traffic Management, part of an international group of traffic safety entities, and in his current role of Business Change Manager, he is responsible for overseeing the impact of new systems, procedures and other changes with wider audiences.

“A few years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine myself in my current role. But learning about traffic management, business activities and technical knowledge has taken me to the point I’m at right now.

As with every job, there is a period when we need to be flexible with our approach towards the challenges. Managing change along multiple work streams can at times be very demanding. I am lucky to have a great support network and can always reach out for support to my line manager.

I would not be in the position I am today if it wasn’t for the training I invested in. All the courses I attended deepened my knowledge and skills but also allowed me to meet with some of the greatest people in the industry. Some of them helped me to progress my career which I’ll be always grateful for.

This is a great time to get involved with the traffic management industry as we move toward more green and sustainable practices. Streamlining processes could not be more important to me and the business I am working for. Working more efficiently through implementing technology is crucial and allows us to reduce the impact we make on the planet.

Where I go from here it’s hard to say. There are still areas of business change I want to explore and learn about. For those who are at the beginning of their traffic management journey, you are in a great place. It is a resilient and rewarding industry, so get stuck in and enjoy!”
