Guidance for Main Roads WA Operational Efficiency
Auditor Applications
Main Roads WA (Main Roads) has developed Guidelines for Operational Efficiency Audits
for Managed Freeways and is seeking applications from practitioners with relevant skills and
experiences to become accredited auditors.
Main Roads current policy requires that operational efficiency audits are conducted on all
freeway projects in Western Australia, and may be required at a number of stages in the
project lifecycle from traffic analysis through to detailed design. An audit team must consist
of two auditors as a minimum, but may include more depending on the required expertise for
a particular project.
Applications may be for a Senior Operational Efficiency Auditor or Operational Efficiency
Auditor role. A Senior Operational Efficiency Auditor will lead an auditing team and be
responsible for submission of the audit report, and is required to have a higher level of
relevant experience.
Further information on the concept and process for conducting operational efficiency audits
is provided in the Guidelines for Operational Efficiency Audits for Managed Freeways (Main
Roads 2013) available online from Main Roads website. This document also details the
relevant policies and standards that auditors should be familiar with prior to undertaking an
audit.
