Blyth, United Kingdom Northumberland County Council Full time

Job Introduction Street Lighting is a highly visible and vital part of Northumberland’s highway network. Lighting is provided to enable the safe use of the highway for road users and pedestrians and the role of the Street Lighting Engineering Assistant is key to ensuring reported faults and emergencies are dealt with promptly and efficiently. The street lighting team receives approximately 5,000 enquiries per year all of which need to be managed in a timely and professional manner.

**ROLE OF THE JOB**
The post holder will need to be confident in dealing with members of the public, Parish and District Councils, Local and County Councillors and will need to use their initiative in deciding when to keep customers informed of the progress of their enquiry. The role also requires the constant and comprehensive update of the Street Lighting Mayrise System, which includes customer requests, works orders and inventory updates. The post holder will be given full training in using and interrogating the Street Lighting Mayrise System, which is also used to calculate the energy consumption of the Street Lighting Assets. The role of the Engineering Assistant will provide support right across the business, including the Design Engineers and the Operations Manager.

**REQUIREMENTS OF THE JOB**
- You should also have good interpersonal and organisational skills and have a strong customer focus.
- It is essential that you can prioritise and organise your own workload as well as being able to work well within a team environment, work to tight deadlines, be methodical in your approach and operate with minimum supervision, as the team operates in a highly reactive work environment.
- The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification, and although not essential, it would be advantageous if the post holder held a full UK Driving Licence.
