Grade: H-JK (Career Graded)
Contract: Permanent
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: Malton, North Yorkshire- (Area 4 Highways Office, Kirby Misperton)
Would you like to be part of our friendly, welcoming, Area 4 Highways team who are proud to manage all aspects of the highway network we look after which includes Helmsley, Pickering, Malton and picturesque villages nestled within the stunning North York Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Wolds.
The Role
We offer hybrid working, combining time at home with office-based work. However, this role will also take you out and about, overseeing projects and engaging with local communities. You’ll join a team of five Project Engineers reporting to the Improvement Manager, working closely with nine Highway Officers, our Customer Communications Officer, Area Manager, and business support colleagues.
Could you help us:
· design/oversee consultants designing, and project manage/oversee consultants project managing a significant workload of highway maintenance (approx. £3m annually) involving carriageway and footway resurfacing, drainage schemes, landslips, renewal of road markings and cattlegrids?
· liaise regularly with our delivery partners NYH, maintaining positive relationships?
· implement changes to parking and loading restrictions and speed limits by carrying out Statutory consultations and writing up committee reports?
· process temporary road closures to allow our own works, utility company works and events on the highway to go ahead?
· respond to the many customer contacts we receive from our elected members, town and parish councils and members of the public?
An excellent candidate eligible to join us on Grade JK would have either HNC Civil Engineering or equivalent and the experience to deliver some (not all) of the work aspects described above.
However, we would seriously consider suitable applicants who have transferable skills but don’t yet possess exactly the right qualifications or experience. You would need the relevant qualifications and ambition which would permit entry to HNC Civil Engineering on day release to begin your technical career journey with us. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are necessary and the desire to work in a team environment where cooperation and negotiation is required is essential.
