Highways Maintenance Technicians

The Role: We're looking for two Senior Highways Maintenance Technicians to join our South Worcestershire Design & Build Team based at Newland Depot. You'll be part of a friendly and experienced team delivering highway maintenance schemes across Worcestershire, helping keep the county's roads safe and well maintained. The role offers a real mix of office and site based work, from planning resurfacing and patching schemes to site inspections, traffic management planning, contractor liaison and helping deliver specialist programmes such as surface dressing. Working closely with Engineers, depot colleagues and our term service contractor, you'll help take schemes from initial investigation through to delivery on site. No two days are the same and you'll play an important role in responding to day to day highway maintenance issues, supporting emergency responses and helping deliver improvement works across the network. This is a great opportunity for someone with highways maintenance or civil engineering experience who enjoys practical problem solving and wants to develop their technical knowledge and experience within a supportive team environment. You'll gain exposure to a wide range of maintenance activities and work on projects that have a direct and visible impact on local communities across Worcestershire. The work we do at Worcestershire County Council makes a real difference to residents, businesses and communities across the county. From improving safety and keeping the network moving to supporting economic growth and responding to emergency situations, the work delivered by the Design & Build Team has a direct and visible impact every day.
