  • Carry out post-closure inspections
  • Identify damage caused by diverted traffic
  • Direct undertakers to remedy identified issues
  • Provide site-based advice to coordinators and statutory undertakers
  • Support enforcement processes including section 74 overrunning works
  • Provide evidence for non-compliance inspections
  • Deal professionally with complaints, enquiries and site issues
  • Engage with members of the public and partner organisations

Essential Experience & Skills

  • Experience or knowledge of street works, highways, utilities or reinstatement inspections
  • Understanding of NRSWA requirements
  • Understanding of SROH reinstatement standards
  • Knowledge of street works permit conditions
  • Knowledge of temporary traffic management and site safety requirements
  • Ability to inspect live works and completed reinstatements

  • Ability to travel across the county and inspect multiple sites daily
  • Confident using handheld electronic devices
  • Ability to record accurate inspection notes, mapping and photo evidence
  • Ability to work largely unsupervised
  • Good communication and public-facing skills
  • Full driving licence
  • Car insurance suitable for work use
