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.
