Exciting Opportunity for a Highway Engineer in East Yorkshire
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a delivery-focused Highway Engineer to join my client's established highways team on a temporary contract, supporting highway maintenance projects across the East Riding of Yorkshire. This position is an initial 3‑month contract which acts as a probationary period as the position is ongoing.
This role is site‑based and office‑based – remote working is not suitable (outside IR35).
The main duties of the Highway Engineer are:
* Undertake regular site visits to assess the condition of carriageways and footways
* Develop appropriate maintenance treatments and prepare schedules and 2D drawings using AutoCAD
* Supervise on‑site works and ensure delivery meets client standards
* Prepare and maintain accurate records and documentation of works undertaken
* Collaborate with internal teams and attend meetings at client offices as required
* Utilise MS Office (Word, Excel, Teams) and client IT systems to support project delivery
The Highway Engineer will have key experience in:
* Sound knowledge of highway maintenance techniques, standards and specifications
* Previous experience supervising works and maintaining detailed records
* Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D only) and a good level of computer literacy
* Familiarity with local authority working environments is beneficial
* Knowledge of NEC contracts is advantageous but not essential
* Strong communication and problem‑solving skills
* Ability to work independently and manage site‑based responsibilities
