Full-Time, Permanent
Salary:
Up to circa. 45,000 (DOE) + Benefits

We are working alongside a highly respected, independent transport and infrastructure consultancy to appoint a Highways Technician for their Oxford office.

This is a business known for punching above its weight technically. With a strong reputation in transport planning and infrastructure design, they operate with the agility of a specialist consultancy while delivering schemes that require robust technical credibility and close collaboration with local authorities.

What sets them apart is their integrated approach - transport planning and engineering working closely together from feasibility through to detailed design. The team is lean, technically strong, and gives individuals genuine ownership of their work rather than siloed production tasks.

You will play a key role in the technical delivery of highway and drainage designs across a range of development projects. This will include:

• Preparing detailed highway and drainage drawings
• Supporting Section 278 and Section 38 highway approval submissions
• Producing technical outputs using AutoCAD and Civil 3D
• Assisting with access design, swept path analysis and visibility assessments
• Coordinating with engineers and planners to ensure technically robust submissions
• Supporting design development from feasibility through to approval

You’ll be trusted to take responsibility for your outputs while working within a highly collaborative engineering environment.

• Experience as a Highways or Civil Technician within a consultancy
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D
• Understanding of UK highways design standards and S278/S38 processes
• Ability to manage multiple technical tasks with attention to detail
• Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset

• Genuine technical autonomy and responsibility
• Close collaboration between transport planners and engineers
• Exposure to projects from early-stage feasibility to detailed design
• Supportive team structure with clear progression routes
• A culture focused on technical quality rather than volume output

If you’re a Highways Technician looking for more ownership, stronger technical exposure, and a consultancy where your contribution genuinely matters, this Oxford opportunity is well worth exploring. Contact : #removed#
