Full job description

Salary: £31,537 to £42,839 per annum

Grade: H-JK (Career Graded)

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 37 Hours per week

Location: Whitby, North Yorkshire

Would you like to be part of our friendly and welcoming Area 3 Highways team? We manage a diverse highway network across Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and surrounding villages within the North York Moors National Park.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys a balance of hands-on design work, technical problem-solving and site-based project delivery in an outstanding setting.

The Role

We offer hybrid working, combining home and office working, but this is fundamentally a practical, engineering-led role. Your time will be spent visiting sites, developing designs using AutoCAD, engaging with local communities, assessing issues first-hand and overseeing delivery of projects from start to finish.

You’ll join a team of five Project Engineers and a Senior Project Engineer reporting to the Improvement Manager, working closely with nine Highway Officers, our Highway Customer Communications Officer, Area Manager, and Business Support colleagues.

Could you help us:

You will take a lead role in the design and delivery of highway schemes, including:

Producing and checking engineering designs for highway maintenance and improvement schemes, including:
- carriageway and footway resurfacing
- drainage solutions
- landslip repairs
- road markings and traffic management measures

Undertaking site visits, inspections and surveys to:
- identify issues
- develop practical engineering solutions
- ensure constructability and safety
Overseeing works on site, ensuring schemes are delivered safely in accordance with CDM regulations, and to specification
Working with consultants undertaking design and project delivery
Supporting delivery of an annual programme of works (circa £5m), taking schemes from concept through to completion
Liaising closely with delivery partners (NYHighways) to coordinate works and maintain strong working relationships
Developing and implementing highway changes such as:
- parking and loading restrictions
- speed limits
- temporary traffic management and road closures
Engaging with stakeholders including elected members, parish councils and the public, helping translate technical issues into clear, practical solutions

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

Passionate about engineering and on-site project delivery
Comfortable working both in the office and out on site in varying conditions
Able to apply sound engineering judgement to real-world problems

For Grade JK, you would typically have:

HNC in Civil Engineering (or equivalent), and
Experience in highway design and/or construction delivery

We will also consider candidates with transferable skills who are keen to develop a career in civil engineering, with support to achieve relevant qualifications.

You’ll also need:

Strong problem-solving skills
Good communication and stakeholder engagement abilities
A collaborative, team-focused approach

What we Offer

We are a high-performing authority with supportive leadership and excellent career development opportunities in one of the UK’s most attractive regions.

Benefits include:

Local Government Pension Scheme (18.1% employer contribution)
Flexible and hybrid working
Learning and development support
Career progression opportunities
Employee discounts and wellbeing support
Green travel schemes and loans
