Your Role

Stockport has been recognised nationally as a great place to live and work and has been recognised as ‘Council of the Year’ by the MJ Awards. As a Team Manager for the Highways Design & Construction Team, you’ll play an important part in our ambition to develop transport infrastructure that is green, inclusive, resilient, and safe and helps to reduce air pollution and lower our overall carbon emissions. Stockport already boasts some of the best connectivity in Greater Manchester, with regular train links into both Manchester and London, as well as a fast-growing network of walking, wheeling, and cycling routes and state-of-the-art transport interchange. Our ambitious investment programme aims to make it easier and greener for people to travel around Stockport, connecting people with access to good job opportunities and all the sport, culture and leisure facilities the borough has to offer.

Working alongside experienced professionals as part of multi-disciplinary project teams you will be managing the successful development and delivery of schemes throughout the whole project lifecycle from concept all the way through to hand over into operations and maintenance. You will play a key role in delivering, safe, efficient and deliverable designs for our capital programme, whilst contributing to staff development and the continuous improvement of our processes.
