You will be part of a team managing and co-ordinating the on-site works associated with Edinburgh’s roads and footways renewal program. This is an excellent platform to develop your career within a design and construction environment. Our carbon-conscious approach to project delivery allows innovative individuals to flourish and the successful candidate will be encouraged to influence the future direction of their work, whilst operating in this site-based role. Responsibilities
Supervise and influence the construction of civil engineering projects ensuring the agreed specifications are met in full and the required quality standards are consistently achieved. Inspect roads and footways to assess their condition and safety, including identification of remedial works as required, reporting on standards of workmanship and compliance with national and local standards. Manage on-site projects, fostering working relationships with contractors to ensure on-time delivery, whilst maintaining excellent value for the Council. Ensure that all work is carried out with due regard for public safety and traffic/pedestrian management requirements, utilising a working knowledge of Chapter 8 (Traffic Signs Manual) and the Red Book.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
