Job Description
Your New Role
We have a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Highway Maintenance Operative to join our NMC North East Account in Nairn.
Our NMC NE Account, awarded to us in 2022, supports Transport Scotland. This account aims to deliver improved service levels to the trunk road network, ensuring consistent, predictable, and reliable journeys for road users. The works will include maintenance, road safety, bridges and structures, and discrete improvement schemes, aligning with the Scottish Government’s climate change and sustainability targets. We will also enhance winter and incident response services, improve communications, and implement new technologies for better management of trunk network assets and maintenance activities.
Highway Maintenance Operatives play a vital role in installing temporary traffic management and performing all aspects of highway maintenance works.
The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
You will be responsible for:
* Undertaking all highway maintenance activities, including routine and cyclic maintenance, minor civils works, and litter picking
* Driving and operating vehicles and plant, ensuring vehicle checks, routing maintenance, and cleaning are completed
* Winter maintenance, including emergency call-outs and standby duties
* Prioritizing safety for yourself and the team

We want to hear from you if you have Civils, Trade, or Street works experience to help you hit the ground running, though this is not essential as we will provide the necessary development. It would also be desirable if you hold an HGV license.
