We’re looking for a knowledgeable and proactive Cyclical Maintenance Lead to take ownership of our green infrastructure maintenance programme.

Key Responsibilities

• Build on existing asset data to create a comprehensive green infrastructure database.
• Develop and implement cyclical maintenance regimes tailored to different asset types.
• Use Aurora to schedule, monitor, and manage planned works.
• Apply strong horticultural knowledge to ensure maintenance aligns with biodiversity goals and countryside regulations.
• Balance green infrastructure needs with highways safety and operational requirements.
• Conduct site assessments to identify species, seasonal needs, and appropriate interventions.
