City of York Council’s (CYC) Street Works team play a vital role in ensuring that York stays on the move by maintaining and enhancing our road network. Reducing congestion and lessening disruption to the public is a key role for the Street Works team.

CYC is looking for a Street Works Inspector to support and deliver their objectives through the proactive inspection of road/street works across the city. You will be responsible for inspecting works sites and ensuring high levels of safety.

With an accreditation in Street Works you will have proven experience in dealing with traffic management issues and a familiarity with reinstatement specifications. You will need to be well organised with effective communication skills and an awareness of relevant legislation.

You should have sound knowledge of all Microsoft products and experience with Street Works Mayrise software would be advantageous.

As the team operates in a highly reactive works environment you should be able to prioritise your own workload, work to tight deadlines, be methodical in your approach, use initiative and operate with minimal supervision.

This role is a frontline role and you will be expected to operate throughout the city on a daily basis.

The Council is highly committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition, we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
