Highways inspector

We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Highways Inspector to join our NMC SW account in Polmadie.

Our NMC SW account is working in partnership with Transport Scotland Southwest since August 2020. We are responsible for inspections, cyclical maintenance, asset management, scheme delivery as well as winter maintenance and incident response.

This enables reliable journey times and a high level of customer care for the people and businesses that use these roads every day.

By ensuring our roads and highways are well-maintained through all-weather seasons and traffic incidents, we aim to create well‑functioning, safe spaces that minimise disruption, keep people moving and support thriving communities.
