Your New Role
We have fantastic opportunities for Permanent Highway Maintenance Operatives to join our NMC North East Account in Dundee.
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. Works include maintenance, road safety, bridges and structures, and discrete improvement schemes, aligned with the Scottish Government’s climate change and sustainability targets. We will also implement an enhanced winter and incident response service, improve communications, and introduce new technologies for better management of trunk network assets and maintenance activities.
