About us:
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council - a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse.

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiatic Highways Clerk of Works to join our team.
The Role:
Reporting to the Infrastructure Planning Manager, this role will lead on site-based quality inspections for all RBWM highway contracts and oversee private estate development and highway improvement schemes (Section 38 and Section 278), ensuring they meet RBWM and national standards.

Lead the review and delivery of the Section 38 and Section 278 agreement process - from design review and Heads of Terms to Section 210 calculations and technical approval of estate road designs.
Work closely with Highways Development Control and specialist advisors to ensure developers deliver works that meet current standards and guidance. Take action to ensure construction is acceptable, adoptable, and supports the long-term quality of the highway network.

Excellent communication skills - both written and verbal.
A proactive, enthusiatic self-starter who works well independently and as part of a team.
What we offer:
32 days annual leave
Flexible working including a hybrid working pattern for a better work-life balance.
Generous Local Government Pension scheme includes life cover (3 times of annual salary); and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.
Free employee parking close to the offices.

Instant Reward Scheme to recognise and reward innovative achievement.
