Full Time
Highways and Transport is back at North East Lincolnshire Council, creating a rare opportunity to be part of something from the beginning.
As we grow the Streetworks function, we’re bringing together talented people who want to make a real difference to how the service is delivered. Working as part of a small team, you will help maintain and improve our highway network, by carrying out inspections of works undertaken by Statutory Undertakers and others working in the highway to ensure safety and compliance with relevant conditions.
Now is an exciting time to join us as we invest in our people, strengthen our expertise and create a service fit for the future.
What will your day look like?
As a Senior Technician (Streetworks Inspector), you'll mainly be out and about, on a typical day, carrying out inspections in line with the North East Lincolnshire Permit Scheme (NELPS), New Roads & Street Works Act (1991) and associated Codes of Practice for Safety at Street Works and Road Works.
You will need to confidently engage with contractors working on site, helping to translate statutory guidance and codes of practice to ensure that works are completed safely and in line with permit conditions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on technical role, where based on your professional assessment of a site, you will need to collect and record a variety of accurate data using a hand-held tablet computer.
You will be visiting multiple sites across North East Lincolnshire on a daily basis so the ability to transport yourself efficiently and effectively between sites is essential. In addition, you will need to regularly attend the office base for meetings and to collaborate with colleagues.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with experience in a relevant technical or professional role who is comfortable working with data, records and statutory processes.
You’ll need to be organised, accurate and able to manage your own time effectively to meet the requirements of the role. As the role is mainly site-based, you'll need to be happy to work in all conditions.
Experience of preparing or contributing to a Local Authority permit scheme would be helpful, along with experience of engaging with the public deal with queries or provide technical information in a way that is easily understood.
Why join us?
This is a role where you can build on your technical experience and develop new skills as part of a service where each day can be different.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll be joining Highways and Transport at a time when we’re shaping new ways of working, improving how we use data and building a stronger in-house service for the future.
If you care about quality, enjoy solving practical problems and want your work to support better outcomes for local places and people, we’d love to hear from you.
We reserve the right to close our adverts early if we have received a significant volume of suitable applications.
