Highways Project Officer

3 days ago

Strood South, United Kingdom Medway Council Full time

We’re looking for an innovative project officer with excellent administrative skills and technical ability to help deliver a range of highway projects from licensing to asset management.

You’ll need to be experienced in delivering projects in a timely manner; preparing and writing reports and liaising with various stakeholders as part of the feasibility process.

Reviewing existing practices and identifying areas for improvement, you’ll work closely across the Highways service to improve systems and ways of operational working to help deliver more efficient and effective working practices.

The post holder will be required to review existing plans and policies defined on the Highway Asset Management Delivery Plan and liaise with Officers to ensure these are updated and co-ordinated for periodic review. You’ll therefore need to have a good understanding of Asset Management in relation to a Highway Asset environment with the ability to collate, maintain, analyse and appraise data across the service.

If you would like to have an informal discussion with the recruiting manager please call Karen Tamsett on 01634 331525
