Who We Are
First Nations Traffic Control Services is a 100% Aboriginal-owned and operated business, uniquely based in Armidale, New South Wales. We are dedicated to bringing local expertise, cultural knowledge and community- driven solutions to clients statewide.
My name is Steven Ford, and I am a proud Dunghutti, Gumbaynggirr and Anaiwan man from Armidale, New South Wales. I established First Nations Traffic Control Services to deliver professional, reliable traffic control and create employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our communities.
Through First Nations Traffic Control Services, my goal is to create meaningful pathways into the traffic control industry by supporting long-term employment, skills development and workforce participation. I am dedicated to fostering a culturally safe workplace where all employees feel respected, valued and empowered to grow and reach their full potential.
First Nations Traffic Control Services is founded on strong community connections, respect for culture, and a commitment to safety, professionalism and accountability in every project.
Our Process
At First Nations Traffic Control Services, we approach every project with careful planning, strong safety practices and effective coordination
Site Assessment
Every project begins with a worksite assessment. This helps us understand traffic conditions, site layout, pedestrian movement and potential hazards before work starts.
Traffic Management Planning
After the site assessment, we work with contractors, site managers and stakeholders to ensure traffic control measures align with approved management plans and project requirements.
Implementation
Our accredited Traffic Control Officers implement required measures on site, including managing traffic flow, positioning signage and ensuring safe movement of vehicles, workers and pedestrians.
Monitoring and Coordination
Throughout the project, our team monitors site conditions and coordinates with contractors and supervisors to ensure traffic control measures remain effective, compliant and safe as conditions change.
We conduct regular site visits to ensure our team maintains high safety standards and follows all
operational and compliance requirements.
