‘Highway Services’ is a large service area within the Place department. It undertakes a range of statutory duties such as managing the Council’s highway infrastructure and associated assets, bridges and land drainage, in compliance with relevant legislative requirements. The service also provides an in-house consultancy service for the project management, design and supervision of a range of diverse Environmental and Civil Engineering projects from inception to completion.

As a Street Lighting Client Officer, you will assist the Streetlighting Client Manager in managing the Council’s Street lighting Service Provider under a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract.

You will be required to apply specialist skills to manage, through the PFI Service Provider, the installation and maintenance of public lighting and illuminated street furniture, thereby ensuring that services are delivered in accordance with the standards and timescales set out in the PFI contract.

A key feature of this role will involve reviewing designs, programmes and performance reports in relation to the delivery of works carried out by the Service Provider. You will develop and agree project briefs with clients for specific streetlighting projects and ensure that appropriate monitoring and client feedback arrangements are implemented throughout the project.

You should have an HNC in engineering or other relevant and equivalent qualification (or to be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of knowledge and expertise). A full driving licence and access to a vehicle is also required as this role will involve numerous site visits.
