• Monitoring programme, quality, cost, compliance and health and safety performance.
• Liaising with developers, contractors, planning teams, highways officers and other stakeholders.
• Ensuring works are delivered in accordance with relevant specifications, standards and contractual requirements.
• Resolving technical and contractual issues to keep schemes progressing.

The Street Lighting Engineer will have key experience in:

• Hands-on street-lighting contract management within a Local Authority or similar environment.
• Managing PFI street-lighting contracts or working within a PFI delivery environment.
• Section 38 agreements, planning applications and development-control processes.
• Overseeing contractors, administration and the delivery of street-lighting works.
• Working with developers, consultants, contractors and internal council teams.
• Strong knowledge of relevant street-lighting standards, specifications and legislation.
• The ability to manage their own workload and add value immediately with minimal supervision.
• Previous Local Authority experience is essential.
• Professional registration as EngTech or IEng is required.
