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 services to the trunk road network, ensuring consistent, predictable, and reliable journeys for road users. The work covers maintenance, road safety, bridges and structures, and specific improvement schemes, aligning with the Scottish Government’s climate change and sustainability targets. We will also implement an enhanced winter and incident response service, improve communications, and introduce new technologies for better management of trunk network assets and maintenance activities.

Highway Maintenance Ganger plays a vital role in constructing minor and major civils schemes, as well as routine maintenance activities.

The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week, Monday to Friday. The role may involve overtime, participation in on-call rotas, and night shifts as required by the business.

You will be responsible for:

• Undertaking all aspects of highway maintenance works, including drainage, kerbing, and other civils schemes.
• Leading a squad and working closely with other gangers.
• Completing scheme records to a high standard, such as daily site diaries and measurement records.
• Driving and operating vehicles and plant, ensuring vehicle checks, routing, maintenance, and cleaning are performed.
• Participating in winter maintenance, including emergency call-outs and standby duties.
• Prioritizing safety for yourself and the team.

What makes this role unique is: If you join our team, you'll have the opportunity to focus on the parts of your role you most enjoy. Whether it's further training to broaden your skills, working closely with clients to build relationships, or developing leadership capabilities, our environment fosters collaboration and support, guiding your career development.

It would be ideal if you have previous winter maintenance experience and a valid HGV Class 2 license. However, HGV training can be provided for suitable candidates.

It would be desirable if you have previous civils, trade, or street works experience to help you hit the ground running.
