Highway Records and Address Management Team
The work of the team is wide-ranging from dealing with simple highway status enquiries and the day-to-day maintenance of the Local Land and Property Gazetteer, to more complicated tasks, such as allocating property addresses and assisting with the permanent closure of highways and public rights of way. This role will suit an individual who has an investigative mind, thrives on accuracy and diligence and copes well under pressure, whilst maintaining high standards.
You will need the aptitude to become proficient in the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and be great at working collaboratively across a wide range of internal and external customers and contacts, within demanding timescales.
You will need excellent customer service skills to be able to deal sympathetically, patiently, diplomatically, efficiently, and effectively with the enquiries received by the team. Although knowledge and experience of work in Highway Records/Address Management (or a closely related field) would be helpful, the necessary training and instruction will be provided.
