• You will be responsible for teams of Chartered Civil Engineers who will support you in the day-to-day management of your duties, including the development and conclusion of 3rd party developer agreements (to undertake works on trunk roads as part of developers’ consented planning applications).

• Assist in the resolution of commercial, contractual and measurement issues as well as leading on a number of policy development initiatives required for the delivery of these contracts.

• Management and continued development of processes to ensure that Scottish Ministers deliver their duties in connection with their obligations in the Transport Scotland Act and New Roads and Street Works Act 1++1.
• You will be required to assist with Transport Scotland’s Vulnerable Locations Operations Group (VLOG) programme and deliver our adaptation ambitions to make the trunk road network more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
