Our area includes the historic market town of Skipton, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Dales" as well as picturesque villages such as Grassington, Malham, and Kettlewell, nestled within the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park. Join us in helping to keep this beautiful and vital region moving safely and efficiently.
The Role
We hybrid work with a mixture of working from home and from our offices in Skipton, however your role may see you out and about to help oversee the specific projects and engage with the local communities
You would be part of a strong team of project engineers reporting to the Improvement Manager. You’d also be working alongside a team of highway officers who report to the Maintenance Manager, our Highways Customer Communications Officer, Area Manager and business support colleagues
Could you help us:

liaise regularly with our delivery partners NYH, maintaining positive relationships?
prepare documents and provide information to support decision making between October and April about when roads and footpaths are gritted?

respond to the many customer contacts we receive from our elected members, town and parish councils and members of the public?
An excellent candidate eligible to join us on Grade JK would have either HNC Civil Engineering or equivalent and the experience to deliver some (not all) of the work aspects described above.
However, we would seriously consider suitable applicants who have transferable skills but don’t yet possess exactly the right qualifications or experience. You would need the relevant qualifications and ambition which would permit entry to HNC Civil Engineering on day release to begin your technical career journey with us. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are necessary and the desire to work in a team environment where cooperation and negotiation is required is essential.
