Job description

Highway Operations Supervisor

East Midlands

Highway Maintenance & Construction

We’re recruiting a hands-on Highway Operations Supervisor for a long-term highways contract in the East Midlands.

This role suits someone who’s used to running sites properly — leading operatives and Chargehands, keeping work safe, and getting jobs delivered without drama or constant chasing.

The Role

• Day-to-day supervision of highway maintenance and construction works
• Running live sites and allocating work to teams
• Making sure RAMS and Chapter 8 are followed on site
• Managing plant, materials, and traffic management
• Being the on-site point of contact for issues, residents, and stakeholders
• Taking part in winter service and emergency standby when required

Why It’s a Good Move

• Stable, long-term work on a well-established contract
• Trusted to make decisions on site — not micromanaged
• Good Senior Supervisor support when you need it
• Clear expectations and realistic workloads
• A company that values supervisors who do the job right

What They’re Looking For

• Experience supervising highways works (maintenance or construction)
• Comfortable leading operatives and Chargehands on live sites
• Solid understanding of H&S, RAMS, and Chapter 8
• Reliable, calm, and practical approach to site issues

If you’re a supervisor who wants steady work, respect on site, and fewer headaches, this is worth a conversation.
