About the Role

As part of the Highways Engagement and Commissioning team, you will be responsible for assisting the traffic engineer to provide technical advice to county councillors to help identify and progress small scale highway improvements, such as new pedestrian crossings, speed limit reductions and traffic calming measures, that are important to the local community. You will also be responding to customer enquiries regarding requests for minor highway improvements, approving the installation of 3rd party assets on the highway, requests for changes to existing small scale infrastructure and working closely with other teams regarding their proposed schemes.

In addition to this, the team works with key local stakeholders, such as Parish Councils/Residents Associations to better understand the needs of an area, which will influence the work of the various engineering teams. This is likely to be through focus groups, surveys or engagement events and research.
