Manage budgets, cost planning and quantity surveying activities to ensure projects are delivered within budgets.
Support the planning and delivery of major capital programmes, working collaboratively across the highways service.
Contributing to innovation, continuous improvement and adoption of modern engineering practices, materials and technologies.
Ensuring effective inspection, maintenance and safety of critical highway structures across the district.
Be part of the Council's out-of-hours emergency response to deal with emergencies impacting the structures asset.

About you

Has experience delivering highway or civil engineering projects and managing complex programmes.
Demonstrates knowledge of procurement, contract management (e.g. NEC), and project governance.
Has experience in cost management, forecasting and budget control.
Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Works collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes.
Experience of project management methodologies (such as PRINCE2) and professional membership (e.g. RICS or equivalent) is desirable.

Completion of the on-line application form and supporting statement showing how you meet the requirements of the job profile.
