You’ve worked in Highway maintenance before, where you’ve conducted inspections and overseen the licensing of temporary structures. You have a solid understanding of how traffic management works on-street and have supported large-scale developments while minimising disruption to the public highway in the past.
Confident working in a service delivery role, you can build strong relationships with stakeholders and resolve issues quickly. Managing risk, spotting improvement opportunities and keeping things moving are all part of how you work day to day.
Your technical knowledge is second to none. You’re familiar with key highways legislation such as the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, the Highways Act 1980 and relevant sections of the Road Traffic Act, as well as Westminster’s Code of Construction Practice. You’re also able to assess works on-site, understand technical issues in highway structures and make informed decisions about remedial actions.
You communicate clearly and can produce concise reports, briefing notes and responses to enquiries, including Freedom of Information requests, to tight deadlines. Comfortable using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, you’re able to present information in a clear and structured way.
Building relationships comes naturally to you, and you’re able to work independently or as part of a team to resolve issues quickly. You’re also open to new approaches, committed to continuous improvement, and bring a strong sense of responsibility towards equality, diversity and creating an inclusive working environment.
