Job description

Overview

Road Surfacing Supervisor - Yorkshire Region

£Very Competitive + Excellent Shift Uplift for Night Time & Weekend Working + Bonus + Car + Private Healthcare

Permanent | Full-time | Principal Contractor | Regional Travel

Looking to lead visible, high-value resurfacing operations for a principal contractor with real regional clout?

Join a highly regarded surfacing business delivering strategic and local network improvement schemes across Yorkshire. This is a rare opportunity to run night and day schemes on motorways, A-roads, urban frameworks, rural roads, airfields and more - backed by dedicated commercial, planning and logistics teams.

You'll be a key figure in a professional site leadership team, taking responsibility for safe, productive, on-time delivery of complex surfacing programmes.

What You\'ll Be Doing

• Supervising multiple live resurfacing operations across motorway closures, dual carriageways, local streets, airfields, rural roads and council frameworks
• Delivering machine-lay asphalt surfacing to SHW and BS standards, using SMA, Bitmac, HRA and other materials
• Leading direct and subcontract gangs, scheduling labour, plant, materials and deliveries
• Managing on-site safety (RAMS, toolbox talks, permits), programme sequencing and cost efficiency
• Liaising with Contracts Managers and Quantity Surveyors to flag any variations or out-of-scope works
• Ensuring all paperwork, shift records and compliance documentation is accurate and submitted electronically
• Playing a visible, proactive leadership role - ensuring every site is delivered safely on time, within scope and budget

Who You Are

You're already working as a Surfacing Supervisor or Site Foreman, leading machine-lay road surfacing operations on strategic or local highways. You're used to running sites safely and efficiently, maintaining compliance, and working collaboratively with delivery and commercial teams.

You may currently be working for a national surfacing contractor, a principal highways contractor, or a regional infrastructure firm - but you'll know what it means to lead crews in a live road environment and how to get the job done properly, not just quickly.

Ideally, you have extensive experience of:

• Supervising direct labour and specialist subcontractors (e.g. planing, barrier, lining, paver hire)
• Delivering schemes with night working, TM coordination, or complex phasing
• Being commercially aware - understanding out-of-scope work, tracking quantities, and preventing slippage
• Setting the tone on site with a calm, firm, safety-first presence

Minimum Requirements

• Valid CSCS card (Supervisor level)
• SSSTS or SMSTS
• Ideally a NRSWA Supervisor ticket (preferred but not essential)
• Willingness to work flexible shifts: 9pm-5am, 7pm-1am, some weekends (enhanced pay applies)
• A driving licence and a professional, proactive approach to site leadership and compliance

Location

Based from Yorkshire (regional office is in West Yorkshire), covering regional travel across:

• M62, A1(M), M1 corridors
• West & South Yorkshire
• Local council frameworks and framework partnerships

Easy commute from Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Goole, Bradford, Pontefract and surrounding areas.

This is not just a shift job - it's a key operational leadership position.

You'll be trusted to take control of your sites, influence commercial decisions, and represent your team with pride.
