Commercial and Senior Manager Recruitment
Big projects require big thinkers
The Highways Agency is here to help millions of road users get where they want to go safely and reliably. We are responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England – and we are currently investing £11 billion in maintaining and improving the safety and reliability of the strategic road network in England.
Our projects range in scale and complexity. The widening of two of the busiest roads in the UK – the M25 and M60 – are two major programmes that have won praise from the industry. The £60m Great Barford bypass has not only created an improved road link; it has also reduced noise and made it feel like a rural village once again.
The New Sheppey Crossing is an engineering feat that has made a dramatic saving in time for commuters; while we’ve used all our expertise to extend the life of the busy M6 Thelwall Viaduct.
We can offer you the chance to work on projects of similar scale and profile – projects of real national importance that literally affect the social and economic prosperity of England every day.
You will be affecting change and providing the platform for world-class achievement; and you will be doing it with a business that actively supports the development and progression of its people.
