Job description

We have an excellent opportunity to join the Traffic and Transportation team as a Senior Traffic Engineer.

You will be leading a small but ambitious team which will be responsible for the development and assessment of road traffic safety schemes, which support the council's transport objectives. You will oversee these schemes from conceptual design, through the project cycle to site installation.

You will provide professional and technical advice on traffic manangement and road safety matters, often briefing Councillors. You will check output produced by more junior staff in terms of reports and drawings.

This is an exciting time to be joining us, as transport and infrastructure will be at the heart of our borough's ambitious plans for sustainable growth helping to deliver new homes and jobs. We have set a target of being a net zero borough by 2050, and we have a challenging trajectory to reduce carbon emissions in the next 10 years.

We do offer a hybrid pattern of working, giving you the flexibility to regularly choose between working from home or from our offices.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council is geographically set in a major tourism area with tourist attractions including Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse. As a Royal Borough with the Royal Family on the doorstep, it is a desirable place to live and work.
