Clerk of Works

• Doncaster
• Permanent
• £33,708 per annum

This is a predominantly site-based, mobile role (8090%), ideal for someone who enjoys being out on network rather than office-based.

While the position includes traditional Clerk of Works oversight duties (approximately 2030%), the majority of the role operates in an assistant engineer capacity.

• Pre-works site assessments
• Recommending and validating sites for surface dressing programmes
• Measuring, marking and preparing patching requirements
• Supporting programme planning and delivery
• Liaising closely with contractors on site
• Monitoring contractor performance, specification compliance and quality standards
• Coordinating multiple live projects across the network
• Supporting preventative maintenance treatments including:
  • Surface dressing
  • Micro-asphalt
  • Footway slurry surfacing
• Occasional involvement in winter service operations (experience not essential)

This is a delivery-focused role requiring practical engineering judgement and strong field presence.

We are looking for someone with:

• Relevant preventative highway maintenance experience (surface dressing, micro-asphalt, slurry surfacing or similar)
• Experience overseeing contractors and ensuring specification adherence
• Strong quality inspection and compliance monitoring skills
• Experience coordinating multiple work streams or projects
• Ability to make sound engineering decisions on site
• Prior local government or public sector highways exposure (desirable)
• A Level 3 qualification in Civil Engineering or equivalent experience
• Valid UK manual driving licence

This role requires regular site attendance and significant walking, so applicants must be physically capable of working in a mobile, field-based environment.

This is a permanent opportunity within a growing highways team backed by increased capital investment, offering long-term stability and the chance to play a key role in delivering preventative maintenance improvements across the network.

If you’re a practical, delivery-focused highways professional who prefers being on site rather than behind a desk, we would like to hear from you.
