Colas Ltd, a prominent UK subsidiary of the global Colas Group, operates across more than 50 countries and employs over 55,000 individuals, including a significant workforce in the UK. We specialize in the construction of highways and have participated in extensive construction projects both domestically and internationally, focusing on highways, airfields, and marine sectors. Additionally, we provide maintenance services for highways and manufacture innovative surfacing products. Our commitment to employee development is recognized by our 'Gold Investor in People' award, reflecting our dedication to career advancement.

Role Overview

Colas is entrusted with the eight-year Maintenance & Response contract for the local Road Network. This contract encompasses various maintenance activities within the designated area. We are seeking skilled Roadway Maintenance Technicians with HGV Class 2 driving licenses to join our team. You will be stationed at our operational depot and will work collaboratively to perform essential maintenance duties, including winter operations and emergency responses when necessary. Your tasks will include Patching, Traffic Management, Gully Emptying, Soft Estate maintenance, Street Furniture Repair, and more.

Key Responsibilities

As a Roadway Maintenance Technician, your role will involve a variety of maintenance tasks to uphold the integrity of the highway infrastructure. Responsibilities include:
