You’ll also assist in managing surveys and inspections, ensuring accurate data informs planning and investment decisions.

Participation in the 24-hour emergency call-out rota is required (minimum six days in six weeks), and a strong commitment to CPS’s Zero Harm safety culture is essential.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Manage the condition, performance, and renewal of pavement assets across the network.
• Provide technical support to engineers and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including National Highways and DBFO Co.
• Work closely with the O&M team to support maintenance activities and advise on emergency or temporary repairs.
• Lead the development and continuous improvement of the Pavement Asset Management Forward Plan (AMFP), including 5- and 30-year programmes, in line with DBFO contract requirements.
• Carry out inspections, lifecycle analysis, whole-life assessments, and contribute to asset strategy reviews.
• Identify and implement innovations to improve asset management practices.
• Respond to urgent issues and participate in the emergency call-out rota (minimum six days every six weeks).
• Consistently demonstrate the values of Connect Plus Services in your day-to-day work.
