Your New Role

As a Senior Highways Advisor within the Road Concept team, you will provide technical assurance, direction, and policy leadership on contemporary road layout and operating regimes, including Smart Motorways and Expressways.

- Identifying, initiating, and managing appropriate research to inform policy and standards.
- Working with others to take forward innovative ideas and solutions.

To be successful

- A relevant degree or engineering qualification.
- Proven experience of developing technical solutions and providing specialist advice in road layout design, and desirably, Smart Motorways.
- Comprehensive knowledge of current design standards for road layout, signalling and/or traffic sign design
