About the role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dedicated and experienced street lighting design engineer to join the Street Lighting team at Staffordshire County Council.

The team looks after approximately 108,000 street lighting assets across Staffordshire to ensure that roads and footways are safe and accessible for road users and communities. The assets include street lighting columns, subway lighting, illuminated road signs and bollards, 20mph school signs and other related equipment upon the highway. The team ensure that new street lighting assets on developments and road improvements meet the correct standards and are properly installed.

The County Council are currently investing in changing approximately 47,000 existing street lighting heads to LED heads. This will generate significant savings in energy consumption and carbon emissions, reduce maintenance requirements, and provide improved lighting for road users and communities.

The team delivers its maintenance activity through its PFI contract with E.ON, and it works closely with Amey LG; the highway department’s strategic delivery partner.

The successful applicant will be responsible for the design, specification, supervision and coordination of new and modified lighting schemes. There is significant development in Staffordshire and the postholder will be responsible for undertaking design checks and approvals for third party works. They will join a highly experienced team, with opportunities for internal and external training to enable future career progression.

The role is primarily based at the Stafford office; however, some flexible working will be permitted as part of this role by agreement with your line manager.
