Job Description

Your New Role

We have fantastic opportunities for Permanent Highway Maintenance Operatives to join our NMC North East Account in Dundee.

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 implement an enhanced winter and incident response service, improve communications, and introduce new technologies for better management of trunk network assets and maintenance activities.

The Highway Maintenance Operative 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 nightshift work as required by the business.

You will be responsible for:

• Undertaking all aspects of highway maintenance, including drainage, kerbing, and other civils schemes.
• Leading a squad and working closely with other gangers.
• Completing high-quality scheme records such as daily site diaries and measurement records.
• Driving/operating vehicles and plant, ensuring vehicle checks, routine maintenance, and cleaning are carried out.
• Winter Maintenance, including emergency call-out and standby duties.
• Prioritizing safety to ensure the safety of yourself and the team.

What makes this role unique is: If you join our team, you’ll have the chance to focus on the parts of your role you most enjoy. Whether it’s further training to broaden your skills, building relationships with clients, or developing leadership capabilities, our collaborative and supportive environment allows you to steer your career in the direction you choose.

It would be ideal if you have previous winter 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.
