Job Introduction
The Highway Structures section within the Highways Service undertakes a broad range of work. We lead significant transport initiatives such as the £35m Kings Road Connect, the £90m Transforming Cities Fund, and the £14m new bridge project linking Steeton and Silsden. These projects, along with various Local Transport Plan highway improvements and development schemes, are transforming our district.
Our vision for our Highways Structures section is to strengthen our award-winning team and integrate our services with other disciplines within the Council and the private sector. By harnessing best practices, effective training, new ideas, and the latest technologies, we aim to develop a highly skilled team capable of meeting current and future challenges.
The section also encompasses Demolition work and Development Control related to building structures. Our Demolition and Works unit delivers internal building demolitions for Asset Management and offers civil engineering consultancy to other Council services, notably Waste Management, in managing landfill sites and operational infrastructure for Waste Transfer Stations and Household Waste Sites. The Development Control Engineers are responsible for checking structural calculations associated with Building Regulations and also provide this service for neighbouring authorities.
The section is headed by a Principal Engineer and is supported by several Framework consultants who provide inspections and reports required to fulfil asset management statutory duties. We also carry out abnormal load’s verifications, a statutory function that requires experienced design and assessment engineers to serve as Structures Advisors.
