Cyclical Maintenance Manager / Lead

Experience specifically in planned and proactive maintenance of green infrastructure - including grass, verges, hedges, trees, and Rights of Way.

The role requires more than general highways knowledge.

Experience needed:

• Take the limited data we currently hold and build on it.
• Develop multiple planned maintenance regimes for ongoing cyclical works.
• Work within our new asset management system, Aurora, to schedule and manage those regimes.
• Apply good horticultural knowledge to ensure green assets are maintained in line with biodiversity and countryside regulations.
• Understand enough about highways to balance this with safety and operational requirements.

The green knowledge is essential. Without it, the officer would see "a tree" where they need them to recognise the species and know what maintenance it requires, and at what time of year. The same applies to hedges, verges, and grass - identifying what's there, when and how it should be managed, and how to build that into a proactive maintenance plan.

That mix of asset management, green infrastructure expertise, and cyclical planning is what CCC hoping to find in an interim officer.
