About us

TRL is a world-leading provider of software and services for the transport and mobility sectors. We are on a mission to create cleaner, more efficient, and universally accessible transportation. We believe that safe, reliable transport should be a right for everyone, regardless of their background.


TRL is a diverse and inclusive community of passionate individuals committed to changing the way the world moves. We know that true innovation thrives in an environment where every voice is heard and respected. That's why we offer a diverse and inclusive workplace and flexible working arrangements from day one, ensuring that you can balance your work and life seamlessly, whether through working part-time, flexible hours, hybrid working or job share.


The opportunity

We are looking for a Highway Survey Site Operative to join our Field Services team based in Wokingham.


This is a practical, site-based role supporting highway and pavement investigation projects across the UK. The work is predominantly carried out at night, particularly on the National Highways motorway and trunk road network, as well as local authority roads and other highway sites.


The role involves physical outdoor work, including working on live highway sites, handling equipment, assisting with pavement coring, collecting samples, supporting surveys and operating specialist equipment. Full training will be provided, but applicants should be comfortable with manual work, night shifts, travel and working in a safety-critical environment.


There is regular opportunity for overtime and unsociable hours due to the nature of the work.


Key Responsibilities

  • Assist with pavement coring, sample collection and reinstatement activities.
  • Support site set-up, clearance and safe working arrangements.
  • Operate or assist with specialist survey vehicles and equipment.
  • Support Ground Penetrating Radar surveys and other road condition data collection activities.
  • Record site information accurately using tablets, forms and basic IT systems.
  • Handle, transport and log pavement (road) samples.
  • Support laboratory preparation and analysis of samples where required.
  • Work safely in accordance with RAMS, site briefings and company procedures.


Essential Requirements

  • Full UK driving licence.
  • Proven experience working with vehicles, tools, machinery or site equipment.
  • Construction, highways, roadworks or similar practical experience.
  • Good awareness of health and safety procedures.
  • Basic IT literacy, including Microsoft Office, tablets or mobile devices.
  • Willingness to work predominantly night shifts, with overtime and unsociable hours.
  • Flexibility to travel across the UK as required.
  • Ability to undertake physical site work safely.


Desirable Requirements

  • CSCS card or equivalent site safety qualification.
  • Experience working on highways or live road environments.
  • Experience with pavement coring, reinstatement or road condition surveys.
  • Experience using specialist survey equipment.
  • First aid, manual handling, CAT and Genny, or other site-based training.

Training and Career Development

Full training will be provided for the specialist aspects of the role, including highway survey methods, pavement coring, equipment use, site procedures, safety requirements and sample handling.


There is also good opportunity for career development within the Field Services team, with the potential to gain further site qualifications, develop specialist survey skills and progress into more senior operative or supervisory roles over time.
