THE ROLE
Hampshire County Council is looking to recruit within our Safer Roads and Parking Team, part of the Traffic and Safety Group.
We are seeking talented and motivated individuals to help shape the future of our communities. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team and play a key part in keeping Hampshire moving and making the roads safer. In this engineering role, you will assist in the delivery and monitoring of Traffic and Safety scheme programmes.
You will be involved in identifying, devising, and delivering schemes and initiatives that enhance the safety and efficiency of the road network for all highway users, as well as providing support for other highways and transport functions. This will include working closely with external partner organisations such as the police, district and borough councils, and other public bodies and representatives, as well as internal partner groups.
We would love to hear from applicants who want to be part of a successful, road safety and community-focused Traffic and Safety Team.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Play a key role in responding to a wide range of daily enquiries related to traffic management, road safety, and parking, carrying out initial investigations and helping to shape effective solutions.
- Support the development of schemes such as speed management, parking controls, lorry restrictions, and improved signage, while managing your own smaller projects and contributing to more complex initiatives.
- Work closely with county, district, and parish councillors, stakeholders, colleagues, and members of the public, building strong relationships and ensuring clear communication throughout.
- Assist with the preparation of technical reports, committee papers, and briefing notes, as well as providing guidance on projects and relevant local and national policies.
- Undertake site visits and surveys to support the practical development and delivery of traffic and safety improvements.
