Job description

Leading a small professional team for all operational highway network management matters, you will oversee all aspects of traffic management for the council. You will ensure compliance with contract requirements, statutory obligations, Council priorities / objectives, national standards and industry best practice.
You will also lead and implement strategies to improve safety and efficiency, continually improving the management of traffic on the highway network as part of the integrated transport system for the benefit of the community.


This is an excellent opportunity to join Cheshire East Council’s Highways team. It’s an exciting time for our Highways service. We’re undergoing a big change, expanding our team with new roles so that we can continue to work effectively on developing our services.

You’ll be joining an energetic and committed team with a great sense of purpose. We manage the council’s Highway Service Contract, working collaboratively with our service provider to improve highway services in the borough. We’re looking for experienced highways professionals who can deliver under pressure. You’ll also have excellent communication skills, being able to explain complex information concisely to a wide range of people. Most of all, you’ll thrive on getting the job done as part of a team.

As a senior manager in the team, you will play a key role in managing activity on our highway network, delivering services through our service provider. This includes managing relationships with statutory undertakers to ensure safe working, but also managing Highway permits and licences, as well as looking to develop and implement a Lane Rental Scheme.

If this sounds like you and delivering high-quality services for our residents is your passion, then we’d love to hear from you.

The role includes a generous annual leave provision, flexible working arrangements and entry into the Local Government Pension Scheme, as well as being part of a great team.
