Summary
We are seeking enthusiastic and capable colleagues to join our Highway Operations team that forms part of the Highway Network Management.
The individual will undertake as part of a team, or as an individual, maintenance and construction of roads, footways, verges, street furniture and highways drainage. Also Help ensure the Service culture of performance, safety and quality is embedded within the service. Specifically:
This is a customer focused service, so personal conduct is key, as is good levels of communication.
Completion of all works within the required timescales
Works completed in an effective manner that minimises disruption to all road users within the District
Work is carried out safely.
Work is carried out to specification.
This is a career grade position that offers an excellent opportunity for those people who have the potential to be developed into appropriately skilled and valuable employees. Career grades allow employees to progress through several incremental pay grades while they are undertaking further training, demonstrating increased levels of competence and taking on more responsible duties as they progress on a defined career path.
The successful candidates starting salary will be determined by their skills and qualifications they already possess that are in line with the job specification.
There will be opportunities to earn extra money by taking part in a Winter Maintenance Standby Rota/Gritter Driving requiring a LGV licence, otherwise training will be offered to enable this.
