Join Balfour Beatty's Winter Maintenance Team and Help Keep Buckinghamshire Moving

Are you a reliable, safety-conscious driver looking for a role where your work makes a real difference? Balfour Beatty is recruiting Winter Maintenance Drivers to play a crucial role in keeping Buckinghamshire's roads safe and accessible throughout the winter months.

As part of our dedicated winter operations team, you'll be at the forefront of responding to challenging weather conditions, carrying out gritting and snow clearance activities that help protect local communities and keep people moving.

This is a rewarding opportunity to be part of an experienced team delivering an essential public service when it's needed most.

Working in winter maintenance offers a unique and varied role, where no two shifts are the same. You'll operate specialist vehicles, work alongside skilled colleagues, and take pride in helping to maintain a safe road network during adverse weather conditions.
