Full Time, Permanent We are looking for a dynamic, technically competent, experienced Technician for this role within the Strategic Highways Maintenance Team. This person would project manage the planning and delivery of planned highway maintenance work across the city with the support of colleagues. As a team, we are responsible for the delivery of planned maintenance work across Bristol, including road resurfacing, patching work, road markings, highway drainage, winter maintenance, and preventative maintenance including surface dressing, micro asphalt, and footway slurry seal. You should have appropriate qualifications and/or relevant technical experience in project managing highway maintenance activities. A good working knowledge of Health and Safety and other associated legislation is required. Good communication skills are essential. You should have the confidence to work on your own, while having the ability to work as part of a team, supervise contractors and deal with issues and enquiries related to the work. This post would suit a dynamic, enthusiastic person with previous project management experience and an ability to find solutions for encountered problems. We offer training and mentoring, so it is as much about your attitude, curiosity, and desire to succeed, as previous experience and qualifications. The role involves site work, and you may be required to sometimes work out of normal working hours to aid with the supervision of work, for which enhancements are payable. You will need a valid UK driving licence and, as BCC operates a grey fleet, be required to use your own vehicle for which mileage is paid and parking provided. Why Bristol City Council?
