Join us to help shape Enfield’s streets for the future
At Enfield Council, we’re working to create a more vibrant, greener and healthier borough through our Journeys and Places programme. As part of this, we’re looking for a proactive and experienced Senior Traffic Order Officer to lead on the preparation and management of permanent Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) that underpin our transport and public realm improvements.
About the role
As our Senior Traffic Order Officer, you will play a key part in enabling the delivery of a wide range of projects across Enfield. You’ll lead the drafting, checking and progression of permanent traffic orders in accordance with legislation, policy and best practice, ensuring they are robust, timely and compliant. You’ll work closely with colleagues across design, legal and transport planning teams, and liaise with enforcement, community engagement and highways staff to ensure traffic orders support delivery and are publicly accessible.
Who we’re looking for

You’ll have an eye for detail, excellent organisation skills and the confidence to lead on technical drafting and process management. Experience working in a local authority or consultancy environment, and a good grasp of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Traffic Management Act 2004 and Highways Act 1980 is essential.
You’ll be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, with a track record of managing deadlines and communicating clearly across a range of audiences.
