You will need to show competence in:

  • Review, plan and deliver works in a manner which meets or betters gross margin targets, whilst working closely with Foreman and lead operatives.

  • Forecast the projected outcome of the commercial position for works to provide increased certainty of future contract performance.

  • Work collaboratively with your Programmer to ensure a rolling programme is maintained for works, and Start/Stop status information is provided.

  • Provide gangs with clear expectations and productivity targets on a daily basis.

  • A good level of experience in highway maintenance delivery and workforce supervision.

  • Commercially driven to be able to capture working cost efficiencies, cost control and saving money wherever possible for the mutual benefit of the client and your employer.

  • Good general IT skills are essential.

  • Effective team management, leadership and influencing skills to get the best from everyone.
