  • Lead on Traffic Engineering projects, managing all aspects of delivery from technical order (TRO) production through to compliant placement of infrastructure signage
  • Be a Technical Design Lead and Project Manager to deliver projects which help safeguard the future of the local transport network.
  • Acting as a Line Manager for people in your Communities Highways team, as well as providing guidance and mentoring for junior staff

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

  • A passion for working on projects that make a real difference to local communities
  • Experience and knowledge in the development of highway, traffic and civil engineering projects, especially those that deliver sustainable and active travel benefits through the utilisation of moving and static highway restrictions.
  • A proven ability to manage projects and individuals, to prioritise, achieve deadlines and to work with minimal supervision.
  • Good spoken and written communication skills, with the ability to liaise with others including public sector officials, members of the public and other senior colleagues. The ability to manage stakeholders is a key requirement of this role.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
