What will your day look like?

As a Senior Technician in the Highways and Development Control Team, you will bring practical technical experience to a wide range of highways and transport solutions.

You’ll support the delivery of infrastructure programmes by managing technical information, maintaining accurate records, contributing to reports, supporting investigations and helping make sure colleagues have the data and evidence they need to make good decisions.
