You will produce feasibility studies that lead to the final design and implementation of engineering schemes, ensuring they meet current technical standards. This includes undertaking detailed designs and assessments, and preparing contract documents for both new structural works and maintenance projects, all aimed at ensuring the continued safe functioning of highway structures.
A key part of your role involves carrying out inspections on all types of highway structures, with careful attention to hazards, safety, and risk. Following these inspections, you will identify, record, and evaluate maintenance needs to inform future work. Under the guidance of your line manager, you will also establish and agree on sustainable solutions that satisfy both engineering and environmental considerations, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
You will be responsible for planning, programming, and delivering projects in line with client requirements and current standards and regulations. This includes liaising with county and local councillors, members of the public, and other stakeholders to promote and ensure the smooth implementation of schemes. You will prepare preliminary estimates for proposed schemes with direction from your line manager or senior engineers, and monitor project costs to ensure completion within agreed budgets.
To support your professional development, you will maintain and enhance your technical expertise in emerging methods and technologies. You will also train, develop, and oversee the work produced by Technicians, ensuring quality and consistency. Finally, you will continually promote a positive image of the County Council and Directorate, embracing and supporting corporate initiatives throughout your work.
