The Streetworks Support Officer role is key to ensuring Lancashire County Council meets its obligations under the Traffic Management Act 2004 and ensuring the processing of Street works permits on Lancashire's highway network.
The role includes:
1. Processing Permit applications by utilities and the council operations team ensuring that the works are co-ordinated on the network
2. Undertaking various administrative functions within the street works team
As a Streetworks Support Officer you will contribute to the vital role of co-ordinating and controlling works and other activities on the highway network with the aim of minimising disruption and delays to highway users. The role will include issuing digital permits, licenses and drafting Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders. You will be required to have a strong focus on the efficient programming and delivery of Street Works and Road works, events, skips, scaffold and other activities that will occur on the highway. You will be expected to undertake the role in line with the legislative and procedural frameworks that govern the highway network.
The role will be the first point of contact for utilities and the council's own operations team when queries around works on the highway are received. The majority of the role is processing the permit requests, issuing licences to work on the highway, seeking out conflicts of works and escalating these to team leaders as well as drafting Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders to close roads.
