About the role

Help maintain and improve Cambridgeshire's Highways

Are you passionate about making a real difference to the places where people live, work and travel?

We're looking for an Asset Engineer to join our Asset Strategy & Systems team and help shape the future of Cambridgeshire's highway network.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your engineering knowledge and project management skills to deliver improvements that benefit communities across the county.

From roads and footways to cycle routes and public rights of way, you'll help ensure our transport infrastructure remains safe, reliable and fit for the future.

About the role

As an Asset Engineer, you'll play a key role in planning and delivering maintenance and improvement schemes across the highway network. You'll use asset management principles to help us make the best investment decisions, maximise value for money and support our long-term maintenance strategies.

Working with colleagues, contractors, councillors, local communities and external partners, you'll help turn plans into successful projects that improve everyday journeys for residents and visitors alike.

No two days are the same. One day you could be developing maintenance programmes and reviewing asset data, and the next you could be meeting local stakeholders, managing project delivery or helping to respond to urgent highway issues.
