As a Senior Traffic Engineer you will design and implement traffic management and road safety engineering schemes as part of the Integrated Transport Capital Programme on time and to budget to ensure that the Council fulfils its Highway duties.
Two posts are available with the first leading on traffic engineering. This will range from reviewing requests for reduced speed limit reductions, design of traffic management schemes and addressing parking issues.
The second post will lead the design, management and maintenance of traffic signals in the borough and also support the operation and development of the Urban Traffic Management and Control Centre (UTMC) to ensure a safe and free flowing transport network.
