Experience liaising with the public, parish/district councils, partners and stakeholder organisations.
Knowledge of highway structures maintenance, inspection principles, and improvement schemes.
Awareness of health, safety and wellbeing requirements, including working safely on-site and lone working.
Understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion responsibilities within public sector work.
Knowledge of working with statutory bodies, contractors and consultants.
Strong coordination and supervision skills for on-site works.
Ability to produce high-quality technical reports, schedules, and calculations.
Ability to maintain effective working relationships with internal teams and external partners.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for dealing with the public and stakeholders.
Ability to prioritise work, review programmes, and adjust plans in collaboration with colleagues.
Ability to work in a team as well as on your own.

Desirable

Understanding of council policies, standards and procedures, particularly relating to highways and structures.
Formal bridge inspector accreditation (e.g., SOM, BICS, CSCS or similar).
Health & Safety training (e.g., IOSH Working Safely/Managing Safely).
Experience working in a multi-disciplinary highways or infrastructure team.
Knowledge of national highways guidance, DMRB, or relevant inspection standards.
Knowledge of project management processes.
Advanced IT skills (Microsoft Office, SMS).
Negotiation and stakeholder-engagement skills beyond routine interactions.
Ability to contribute to public briefings or community engagement events.

Additional Information:
This is a full-time, permanent position working 37 hours per week.
A full UK driving licence is essential for this role.
28 days of annual leave (additional to bank holidays)
Flexible working / flexitime arrangements
