You will oversee recruitment, performance, and budgets, working with internal teams and partners to deliver high-quality services aligned with strategic goals. You will drive continuous improvement, manage emergency highway responses as part of a 24-hour service, and engage professionally with stakeholders, including the public and elected members. You will also support training initiatives and advise on key operational decisions, including resource allocation, budgeting, and the prioritisation of works. What we're looking for: You'll have a good knowledge of the highway environment, including Health and Safety management (including CDM Regulations), highway law, materials and construction methods, as well as an understanding of contract management (specifically NEC4 contracts). You will be able to demonstrate experience and knowledge of financial management and the application of asset management principles, alongside a good understanding of the political context in which we work, both nationally and locally. Why join us? There are many reasons why we are an excellent choice for your next career move: • We offer a pleasant, supportive, and collaborative working environment which promotes an excellent work-life balance. • Hybrid working: This role is based between Bishops Waltham and Totton depots with a hybrid working arrangement (office and home working) to suit operational requirements. • We are committed to inclusion, diversity, and wellbeing.
