Key Notes
Highways operations knowledge and experience in safety risk management are the main filters for this consultancy role. You’ll contribute to hazard workshops, analyse safety data and prepare assurance arguments for infrastructure and operational technology changes. The work includes applying DMRB GG104 and explaining findings to senior stakeholders across projects supported by several UK offices.
What You'll Work On
- Assess operational safety issues on highway schemes from early planning through delivery, considering road users and road workers.
- Contribute to hazard workshops, analyse safety data and review potential mitigations for infrastructure changes and operational technology projects.
- Prepare safety arguments and assurance reports using DMRB GG104 and client requirements, presenting findings to project teams and stakeholders.
Why This Role Matters
- Highway changes can introduce risks for road users and workers; the group’s hazard assessments inform whether proposals need modification before progressing through scheme delivery.
- Client safety decisions depend on reasoned assurance arguments, with analysis of operational data and DMRB GG104 requirements providing the evidence used to assess proposed mitigations.
What They Are Looking For
- Experience: Applicants must be able to produce reasoned highway-safety reports and present safety-analysis findings to senior stakeholders.
- Domain: Knowledge of highway operation and maintenance is required, including safety considerations affecting both road users and road workers.
- Technical: Applicants need familiarity with safety-assessment methods such as iRAP, COBALT, RRRAP and benefit-cost analysis.
