• Supporting winter maintenance and emergency response when needed

• Training and development, including specialist plant, safety and highways certifications
• Generous annual leave entitlement of 24 – 29 days plus bank holidays
• Job stability through our partnership with North Yorkshire Council
• Supportive working environment with strong safety and wellbeing culture
• Royal London pension scheme with employer contributions up to 6%

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience in road marking operations and using relevant plant and equipment

• A full driving and Category CE licence
• Ability to problem‑solve, follow procedures and work safely with initiative
• Strong teamwork, communication and customer‑focused approach
