Birmingham is a city on the move. Join our Transport Services team and you can go further too. We’re a city that leads the way. And at Birmingham City Council, we’re investing a billion pounds in game-changing transportation projects. From HS2 to Birmingham Airport, we’re growing bigger and better. Together, we can keep millions connected for years to come.

Help deliver highways projects as part of an expert team.  This is an opportunity to learn from others and build on your skills.

Inputting and retrieving data will also be part of your day-to-day routine, along with other diverse administrative tasks. 

Good knowledge of the technical design of highways is your starting point for a rewarding career.  A Technician Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (or equivalent), you have a good grounding in the financial management of transportation and infrastructure projects.  Well-organised with good problem-solving skills, you’re capable of using computer-aided design (CAD) packages to produce drawings. You are committed to undertaking further training and developing your skills.

Thrive in an environment that promotes diversity and inclusivity, healthy lifestyle choices, wellbeing and balance. We’ll empower you to be the best you can be, with coaching, mentoring and training programmes that meet your professional and personal development needs at every stage of your career with us.

We also offer:

  • Family friendly policies.

The Council is a fantastic place to work. You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence. 

There is a clear vision which is ensuring that the Council is working for communities today and building for tomorrow, we focus our resources on five key priorities:

  • A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
  • An Inclusive Birmingham: through a focus on tackling poverty and inequality, empowering citizens, promoting diversity and civic pride, and supporting and enabling all children and young people to thrive.
  • A Safe Birmingham: through a focus on making the city safer, safeguarding vulnerable citizens, increasing affordable housing, and tackling homelessness.
  • A Healthy Birmingham: through a focus on tackling health inequalities, encouraging physical activity and healthy living, supporting mental health, and improving outcomes for adults with disabilities and older people.
  • A Green Birmingham: through a focus on street cleanliness, improving air quality, continuing the route to net zero, and becoming a city of nature.

We see the Council’s role as providing strategic leadership – that’s being able to visualise a new future for the city and equipping others to share our vision. We want to ensure the provision of services for all, so we can support those least able to support themselves by working with partners and putting citizens and neighbourhoods at the heart of our decision-making.

We are always looking for people who put the customer at the centre of their approach, with a commitment to excellence to help us achieve our vision.  We will support you to develop and thrive in your role, building a pathway for long-term success, with lots of development opportunities, such as apprenticeships.
