- Ensuring all work is completed to the required quality, safety and performance standards
- Working across North Yorkshire, with travel to sites throughout the county (company vehicle provided)
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role, you'll ideally have:
Essential
- Experience working in highways maintenance, construction, civil engineering or groundworks
- Confidence and competence in high-standard finishing works including paving, kerbing and drainage

Why Join NY Highways?
Unlike many contractors, NY Highways offers the security of a permanent role backed by a long-term partnership with North Yorkshire Council, alongside opportunities to work on a diverse portfolio of highways and infrastructure schemes.
In return, we offer:
- Competitive salary with annual pay progression
- Training and development, including specialist plant, safety and highways certifications
- Generous annual leave entitlement of 24 – 29 days plus bank holidays
- Job stability through our partnership with North Yorkshire Council
- Supportive working environment with strong safety and wellbeing culture
