Job description

Your New Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Highway Maintenance Ganger to join our NMC North East Account in Forfar.

Our NMC NE Account, awarded to us in 2022, supports Transport Scotland. This account aims to deliver improved service levels to the trunk road network, ensuring consistent, predictable, and reliable journeys for road users. Works include maintenance, road safety, bridges and structures, and discrete improvement schemes, aligned with the Scottish Government’s climate change and sustainability targets. We will also enhance winter and incident response services, communication, and implement new technologies for better asset and maintenance management.

The Highway Maintenance Ganger plays a key role in constructing minor and major civils schemes and routine maintenance activities.

The standard hours are 39 per week, Monday to Friday. The role involves overtime, on-call rotas, and night shifts as required.

You Will Be Responsible For

• Undertaking all aspects of highway maintenance including drainage, kerbing, and civils schemes.

• Prioritizing safety for yourself and your team.

What makes this role unique is the opportunity to focus on the parts of your role you enjoy most—whether it's further training, building client relationships, or developing leadership skills. Our collaborative environment supports your career development.

It would be ideal if you have previous winter experience and a valid HGV Class 2 license. HGV training can be provided for suitable candidates. Experience in Civils, Trade, or Street works is also desirable to help you start strong.
