Kent County Council maintains 8,700km (5,400 miles) of highway network and associated “assets”.
Our local highway network is the most valuable asset we own in Kent, with a replacement value of around £24 billion. It plays a vital part in delivering council objectives by enabling safe and reliable journeys around and through the county. In doing so, it supports social wellbeing and economic prosperity. It is also essential for emergency services to execute their work: policing, healthcare, fire, and emergency response provision all require an effective highway network. These services are a key part of a functioning society and cannot exist without well-maintained and well-managed highway assets.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to join the team as one of Kent’s Highway Inspectors. The safety inspection regime forms a key aspect of the authority’s approach to managing a safe highway network. A countywide team of inspectors are tasked with the identification of all defects likely to create danger or serious inconvenience to users of the network or the wider community and must take the appropriate action, while ensuring a good asset management approach. You will need to demonstrate the ability to use a risk-based approach and provide a practical and reasonable evaluation of the risks and potential consequences, taking into account all highway users and in particular the most vulnerable.
Kent’s Highway Inspectors are based at 6 depots within the county and work as part of a countywide team, undertaking statutory walked and driven inspections of roads, footways and cycle tracks. On a typical day an Inspector can find that they will walk an average of 10-12km or drive up to 100 miles or more; sometimes a mixture of the two.
As one of Kent’s Highway Safety Inspectors you will be provided with a Kent County Council van and will be using the latest mobile technology. You will ensure accurate and timely recording of inspections and demonstrate attention to detail when raising job orders to ensure the safety of work crews and the travelling public.
If you are able to prioritise and organise your own workload and be a team player, work to tight deadlines and be methodical in your approach then we look forward to hearing from you.
The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
