Roads Inspector - Roads and Highway
We are seeking a diligent and practical Roads Inspector to help ensure that highways, roads, footways and associated infrastructure are safe, well maintained and delivered to the required standards. The role will involve inspecting road networks and construction or maintenance works, identifying defects and hazards, and providing clear, accurate reports to support effective decisions and timely remedial action.
Your responsibilities will include carrying out scheduled and reactive inspections of carriageways, drainage systems, verges, footpaths, street furniture, signs, road markings and other highway assets. You will record defects using digital systems, assess the level of risk and urgency, raise work requests where appropriate, and monitor progress through to completion. The postholder will also inspect contractor activities and completed works, checking compliance with specifications, health and safety requirements, traffic management arrangements and relevant legislation. You may be required to investigate public enquiries, respond to incidents, attend site meetings and provide technical information to colleagues, contractors and members of the public.
Applicants should have experience in highway inspection, road maintenance, civil engineering, construction or a related operational environment, together with a sound understanding of highway materials, defects, maintenance practices and public safety. Knowledge of inspection procedures, risk assessment, traffic management and relevant highways standards would be advantageous. You will need strong written and verbal communication skills, good attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands while working independently. Confidence using mobile technology and computer-based reporting systems is essential. A full driving licence is normally required, as the role involves travelling across the road network and working outdoors in varying weather conditions. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, professionalism and a commitment to maintaining safe, accessible and high-quality highways.
