Ref: VAC001644

Bristol City Council is committed to meeting the housing needs of our existing and new populations in such a way that creates well-constructed and maintained environments that protect and enhance the health and social mobility of our residents and visitors.

The above demands are encouraging a considerable period of housebuilding over the coming years. It is therefore critical that the highway engineering works that are secured at the planning stage and delivered post-permission under sections 278 and 38 of the Highways Act are designed and constructed properly in the interests of protecting users of the highway and the public purse.

In this role, you will be involved during all stages of the planning and construction process, insisting upon the delivery of safe and maintainable new places in the City for all who wish to live work and play here whilst resisting detailed engineering designs that would result in poor and unsafe environments. Through active encouragement and development opportunities we will help you to achieve these goals in a way that is mutually rewarding.

The Transport Development Management team works in close partnership with planners, developers, architects and civil engineers from across the public and private planning, construction and engineering spectrum to ensure that new development safeguards the delivery and longevity of new and existing highway assets.

We require an enthusiastic, qualified and hard-working engineer who is able to demonstrate experience in the field of civil engineering in order to support our team in ensuring that physical works undertaken by developers in Bristol are carried out in the interests of achieving a safe and high quality environment. Knowledge of, and experience in working with highway legal agreements would also be advantageous.

You will be responsible for dealing with all aspects of the design and approval of civil engineering works to be implemented by developers as required by the planning process, with particular responsibility for the undertaking of on-site supervision to ensure works to new and existing highway are constructed to the high standards we expect in order to protect the highway and its users whilst avoiding future maintenance and safety liabilities.
