Are you looking for an opportunity to lead projects that make a real difference to communities across Hampshire? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
We are seeking a highly motivated Team Leader to join our Asset Management Team, a key part of the Hampshire Highways Service responsible for managing and improving one of the largest local authority highway networks in the country.
The Role:
This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in delivering the asset management functions that underpin an efficient, sustainable and data-driven highway service. Working at the heart of strategic decision-making, you'll help shape how highway assets are managed, maintained and improved to meet local priorities and future challenges.
Hampshire County Council is responsible for managing one of the largest local authority road networks in the country. It is the most valuable physical asset that we are responsible for and is fundamental to the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the community.
This role is an exciting opportunity to help deliver asset management functions that are essential to the delivery of an efficient and sustainable highway service that supports our local needs and priorities.
What you’ll do:
As a Team Leader you’ll be responsible for developing and managing a wide range of projects and play an important role in identifying and implementing service improvements. You will be involved in developing innovative ways to collect, analyse and use data strategically that will help to inform business decisions, drive efficiencies, and improve the delivery of the highway service.
Reasons to use Rodeo

This role offers significant variety and the opportunity to work with a wide range of stakeholders, including colleagues from across the organisation, contractors, consultants, technology providers and local authorities. Your work will directly influence how we invest in, manage and improve Hampshire's highway network.
What we’re looking for:
