Salary: £26,509 - £27,788 per year
Grade: 2
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
Hours: 40 per week
Location: Brompton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire

Looking for a role where you can earn while you learn, work outdoors, and build a long-term career with a trusted local employer?

Looking for secure, practical work where no two days are the same? NY Highways is looking for a Highways Operative to join our close-knit local team based in Brompton-on-Swale, near Richmond, working in the heart of North Yorkshire.

This is a great opportunity to join the business at an entry level, receive full training and qualifications and progress your career within highways maintenance.

What you’ll be doing

As part of a supportive, experienced team, you’ll help maintain and improve the local highway network, carrying out a wide range of routine and seasonal works, including:

General highway maintenance such as site clearance, verge works and sign cleaning
Excavating holes and trenches and assisting with drainage and minor repairs
Supporting traffic management and safe working practices on site
Operating highways plant, tools and equipment (full training provided)
Using handheld devices to record work and defects
Supporting winter maintenance activities, including snow clearance and gritting operations

You’ll also take part in an out‑of‑hours call‑out rota for emergencies and potentially winter maintenance. This is a hands‑on, outdoor role, working in all weathers. Full PPE and outdoor clothing is provided.

What we can offer you

This is a great opportunity to secure a permanent role, offering strong benefits, training and long‑term career progression.

With NY Highways you’ll have:

A secure, permanent role with a respected highways provider
Training and development from day one, including nationally recognised highways qualifications
Clear pathways for career progression. Many of our current supervisors and specialist operatives started in entry-level operational roles.
Annual pay progression
Generous annual leave starting at 24 days, rising to 29 days, plus bank holidays
Company vehicle use during the working day
Membership of the Royal London pension scheme with employer contributions up to 6%
Health cash plan, Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme
Access to benefits including Cycle to Work, Vivup discounts, Credit Union and Death in Service cover
Job stability through our long‑term partnership with North Yorkshire Council

You'll be successful if you:

Enjoy practical, hands-on work
Are comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
Take pride in doing a job safely and professionally
Can work as part of a team and support colleagues
Are willing to learn new skills and qualifications
Can respond flexibly when operational needs arise

Experience as a labourer, groundworker, construction operative, highways operative, maintenance operative or similar role would be beneficial but is not essential. If you've worked in construction, agriculture, grounds maintenance or any other practical environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Full training, PPE and support will be provided.

We invest in our people, training and equipment, creating a supportive working environment where you can build a long‑term career close to home.
