Work collaboratively with inspectors and partners to ensure compliance with permit conditions and street works legislation.
Issue Fixed Penalty Notices where appropriate and support enforcement activities.
Analyse information, monitor performance and contribute to continuous service improvements.
Support the effective operation of the Street Works team through strong organisation, communication and customer service.
