·Monitoring contractor performance and ensuring high-quality, cost-effective delivery of services. 
·Managing budgets, authorising payments, and ensuring work aligns with policies and specifications. 
·Driving continuous improvement through effective leadership, coaching, and operational management.

The Highways Operations Manager will have key experience in:

·Delivering highways maintenance and infrastructure schemes, including full lifecycle management from planning through to construction. 
·Strong knowledge and experience in producing construction phase plans under CDM. 
·Managing teams and supervising operational staff within highways or local government environments. 
·Working with internal and external suppliers to deliver efficient, high-quality services. 
·Applying knowledge of health and safety legislation, street works, and highways standards. 
·Leading performance-focused teams, managing conflict, and building positive partnerships.
