About the role: This is a varied role where the successful candidate will have the opportunity to be involved in a number of different specialisms and projects whilst delivering a defined role.

Duties will be both office and site based across a number of different schemes. You will therefore have responsibility for managing your own workload and day to day activities which will include a wide range of varied duties including auditing technical submissions, designing small/medium council highway schemes, and inspecting construction activities.

This role involves solving problems and devising solutions by co-ordinating works through internal and external stakeholders together with office tasks such as documenting progress on sites, work associated with Agreements under the Highways Act and tracking financials.

The post requires you to hold a degree qualification in a relevant subject such as Civil Engineering or at least 5 years equivalent experience.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about delivering high quality schemes, who can demonstrate a "can-do" attitude with a creative approach to problem solving.

You will have experience of highway design, auditing technical construction drawings including inspecting and delivering highway construction works on site, instructing site teams and providing solutions to problems as they arise.

Experience or knowledge of Agreements under the Highways Act and construction/materials is a key part of the role.

The successful candidate will be able to have difficult conversations and negotiate to resolve conflicts whilst working proactively and collaboratively to build good working relationships. In return we can offer a supportive team environment, flexible working patterns, generous leave entitlement, hybrid working and ability to join the Local Authority pension scheme.
