In the role of Engineer (Operations Supervisor), you will have the opportunity to play a key role in that journey. You will support and coordinate frontline operations, helping to deliver essential highway maintenance and winter service activities and ensuring our network remains safe, accessible and resilient throughout the year.

Highways and Transport is back at North East Lincolnshire Council, creating a rare opportunity to be part of something from the beginning.

As we establish and grow this newly formed service, we’re bringing together talented people who want to do more than simply deliver services. We’re looking for people who want to influence how they are designed, developed and improved for the future.

From maintaining and improving our highway network to supporting safe and sustainable travel, the work we do touches the lives of residents, businesses and visitors every day. This is an exciting time to join us as we invest in our people, strengthen our expertise and build a modern, resilient service that delivers real value for our communities.

The role offers variety, responsibility and the opportunity to make a real difference to the safety and resilience of the local highway network.

Your day will involve supporting operational teams, providing clear direction, resolving issues and ensuring that reactive and planned maintenance activities are completed safely, efficiently and to the required standards. You will spend time both in the office and out on site, monitoring performance, undertaking inspections and engaging with colleagues, contractors and stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of highway services.

A key part of the role is ensuring the safety of both the workforce and the travelling public. You will oversee traffic management arrangements, promote safe working practices and ensure compliance with legislation, policies and risk assessments. You will help maintain a positive safety culture and high standards of workmanship across all operations.

You will also play an important role in responding to highway incidents, emergencies and network issues, making informed decisions and deploying resources to help keep the highway network safe and operational.

During the winter season, you will be at the forefront of delivering the Council's Winter Service, helping to keep roads safe and accessible during periods of adverse weather. You will coordinate precautionary salting operations, supervise snow clearance activities and respond to changing weather conditions to ensure an effective and timely service. This role requires flexibility, including participation in an out-of-hours standby rota.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving and making a visible difference to the communities and road users…
