Shape the future of Plymouth's highway network
Plymouth is Britain's Ocean City – a vibrant waterfront city renowned for its stunning waterfront and coastline. As one of the largest urban authorities in the South West, we manage an extensive and diverse highway network that plays a critical role in connecting communities, supporting economic growth and enabling sustainable travel.
We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Highways Asset Manager to lead the strategic management of Plymouth's highway infrastructure and our Asset Management Team. This is an exciting opportunity to influence long-term investment decisions, shape asset management policy, secure external funding and help ensure the Council continues to deliver a resilient and sustainable highway network.
As Highways Asset Manager, you will provide strategic leadership for the management of Plymouth's highway assets. You will oversee asset management policies, strategies and plans, ensuring investment decisions are informed by robust evidence, data and modelling to maximise value for money, manage risk and support a resilient highway network. You will also play a key role in maintaining compliance with national highways guidance and securing external funding opportunities.
