Highway Network Management

Base – Hybrid working (Town Hall / Home / Site)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of the Sheffield Highway Network Management Team.

This team is responsible in coordinating and managing Sheffield’s highway network whilst enabling significant City Centre and local economic redevelopment.

Network Management Technicians work with Engineers and the Principal Engineer to identify and offer solutions to potential highway and traffic management issues in a timely manner on planned, live and emergency works.

A large part of this is based on their ability to interpret legislation or policy and provide guidance on regulatory or technical issues and using this to support and challenge stakeholders when appropriate.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive individual with excellent communication skills who has a good understanding of the challenges faced with works on the highways and the proven ability to manage and maintain professional relationships with all types of internal and external stakeholders.

This could range from colleagues, Service Managers, Councillors to contractors, developers and members of the public.

A key part of the role involves understanding complex scenarios with competing challenges and simplifying that into practical actions which can be implemented by third parties to enable safe working, the progress of economic redevelopment whilst importantly maintaining the highway and pedestrian network for the public.

A full driving license along with use of a vehicle is essential.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
