Description

Advert
Kent County Council maintains 8,700km (5,400 miles) of highway network and associated "assets".

Our local highway network is the most valuable asset we own in Kent, with a replacement value of around £24 billion.

It plays a vital part in delivering council objectives by enabling safe and reliable journeys around and through the county.

In doing so, it supports social wellbeing and economic prosperity.

It is also essential for emergency services to execute their work:
policing, healthcare, fire, and emergency response provision all require an effective highway network. These services are a key part of a functioning society and cannot exist without well-maintained and well-managed highway assets.

Kent's Highway Inspectors are based at 6 depots within the county and work as a team, undertaking statutory walked and driven inspections of roads, footways and cycle tracks.

On a typical day an Inspector can find that they will walk an average of 10-12km or drive up to 100 miles or more; sometimes a mixture of the two.

If you are able to prioritise and organise your own workload and be a team player, work to tight deadlines and be methodical in your approach then we look forward to hearing from you.

This is a gateway opportunity best suited to college leavers or graduates looking to embark in a career in the civil engineering industry.

The successful post holder will also benefit from the prospect of onward progression into other fields within the sector.

The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
