National Highways are looking to hire an Engineering Team Manager in our Asset Needs Team for the Sout West, based at either Bristol or Exeter, as part of our Operations Directorate.
As a proven people manager, you will lead and inspire a team of engineers to identify and prioritise the need for schemes, undertake feasibility studies and develop early solutions.
