How to Apply
How to Apply
Thank you for your interest in applying for a job with the Highways Agency. Like all government bodies, the HA recruits people through a defined process.
Everybody who applies for and completes one of our applications will undergo the same types of screening and assessment. This way we can be sure that the recruitment process is fair, objective and open to all candidates.
In order for us to make a fair and balanced assessment of your skills, we require you to complete a CV, as a guide this should be no more than three pages long in Word format, a short application form and a diversity questionnaire.
We are not including competency questions in this application form but please bear the job description and competencies in mind when completing your CV.
The CV and the short application form are compulsory and allow us to assess the skills and experience of those who apply. Please only use the short application form to apply and not the longer version that can be found elsewhere on this web site.
The diversity questionnaire is not compulsory, but this information allows us to monitor where our candidates are coming from in the community, and to learn if we are meeting our policy targets. The information you supply here is not used to assess you - only the information you supply in the application form and CV will be used to assess you.
Please ensure if you are returning your application by email, that you also then send a signed hard copy of your application form. We will then assess your CV and short application form.
We will be assessing your CV based on your core skills, qualifications and experience for the post you have applied for. We will contact you after we have screened your CV and application to advise you as to how we wish to proceed with it.
