Network Management Lead Officer

We are seeking a Network Management Lead Officer who will have a proven record of working in a Network Management role covering the areas of street works, roadworks, temporary events, permits, project management and works coordination. 

You will work closely with other areas within the Council’s Transport Service to ensure projects and promoted works are carried out with minimal highway disruption.

These are exciting times in the City of Bristol as we have seen considerable investment in its transport and highway infrastructure in recent years and continue to see investment from the Government, third party Stakeholders, and Statutory Undertakers. Any investment in the highway network or the plethora of services that run beneath it brings the challenge of ensuring the network continues to run as smoothly as possible during potentially disruptive works.

You will be leading a team to ensure that we meet our statutory requirements and as such managerial experience is required to enable your direct reports have the tools, knowledge and skills to carry out their functions to the best of their ability. 

The role will require excellent written and verbal communication skills with the public, stakeholders, and work colleagues, extensive knowledge of highway related legislation, the ability to develop innovative solutions to complex problems and a sound understanding of the operation of transport networks. Further training and development opportunities will be offered as required.
