KCC Highways is looking for a Streetworks Coordinator to support the delivery of their objectives through proactive coordination of road works and activities on Kent’s roads.

You will be responsible for providing professional co-ordination advice and to make complex decisions in the management of roadworks on Kent’s Highway network and assist the Streetworks Manager to ensure the continued successful operation of the Kent Lane Rental Scheme and Kent Permit Scheme

The post holder will need to be confident in dealing with internal and external stakeholders. These will include the Public, Parish and District Councils, Local and County Councillors as well as works promoters and contractors.

With an accreditation in Street Works, you will have proven experience of dealing with traffic management and coordination issues and have a familiarity with reinstatement specifications. You will also be well-organised with effective communication skills and an awareness of relevant legislation.
