We are Kier, one of the UK's leading construction and infrastructure services, working on projects such as Strategic and Local Highways, and we're looking for a Works Controller/Scheduler to join our Highways team in Ipswich, Rougham and Halesworth
Key Responsibilities:
The Works Controller will review and accept reactive orders, ensuring consistency with the Highway Maintenance Operation Plan (HMOP) matrices, rejecting or amending any non-compliant requests with the relevant instigator whilst authorising compliant requests for efficient and cost-effective delivery. Assess and suggest appropriate traffic management to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the workforce and the general public. Include requesting additional information or documents from commissioners as and when required (including for non-compliant work requests). The expectation is that the Works Controller/Scheduler will manage and co-ordinate operational information across Suffolk highways, updating works commissioners when reactive works are subject to any significant delay. Duties will be to proactively seek opportunities for multiple works activities at locations where road closures, lane closures or extensive works areas will allow traffic management cost reductions and a more comprehensive highway asset maintenance approach, liaising with stakeholders. Co-ordinate and manage the effective deployment of staff to emergencies. Provide management of the service delivery centre control hub's Suffolk highways dashboard (on the Works Manager system).
We are seeking candidates who have:
- Relevant Construction Skills/StreetWorks Supervisor certificate

- Working knowledge of programme delivery experience, ideally within local authority or construction/engineering sector
