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 Council's Streetworks team, we’re bringing together talented people who want to do more than simply deliver services. We’re looking for someone who can take a leading role within a small team, to help effectively manage the co-ordination and permitting of works on the highway. In doing so, the role will be key to minimising traffic disruption and ensuring effective relationships are forged and maintained with Utility companies undertaking works on our road network.
From maintaining and improving our highways network, to shaping how people travel across North East Lincolnshire, the work we do touches the lives of residents, businesses and visitors every day. 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.
As an Engineer in the Streetworks team you will have the opportunity to use your existing skills, knowledge and professional expertise to make your mark, grow your career and help shape the future of Highways and Transport in North East Lincolnshire.
What will your day look like?
As an Engineer (Permit Co-ordination), you’ll take a leading role in co-ordinating and assessing the impact of proposed highway works in line with the North East Lincolnshire Permit Scheme (NELPS), and New Roads & Street Works Act (1991). You’ll use your professional judgement to assess permit requests, interpret standards, and develop solutions collaboratively with works promoters to ensure essential and reactive programmes can be delivered.
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.
You will mainly be office based although you will regularly need to attend sites across North East Lincolnshire so the ability to transport yourself efficiently and effectively between sites is essential.
You’ll also provide professional Streetworks advice to colleagues, elected Members and the public, helping resolve issues and support good decision-making by interpreting potentially technical information for a non-technical audience.
You will work with colleagues to develop and draft performance reports on a regular basis to demonstrate service demand and compliance with relevant policies and statutory requirements.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with experience of Local Authority permit schemes (or similar) who is comfortable working within a small team to ensure compliance with the required policies and statutory guidance. You will need to be a good communicator, have strong analytical skills and good attention to detail.
You’ll need good organisational skills, the ability to translate complex technical matters into clear, accessible information and a good understanding of the geography and highway network in North East Lincolnshire. You’ll be comfortable working with drawings, specifications, reports, data & risk assessments and confident using different IT packages
You’ll also understand the importance of collaboration. This role will suit someone who can take ownership, build relationships and deliver practical solutions that work for everyone who travels around North East Lincolnshire.
Why join us?
This is a chance to play a key role in a newly formed Highways and Transport service with ambition, purpose and room to grow.
You’ll be joining at a point where your expertise can genuinely help shape how projects are planned, delivered and improved. You’ll have the opportunity to influence standards, strengthen delivery and support a service that has a direct impact on communities across North East Lincolnshire.
