Network Coordination Technician (Full Time)

Devon County Council’s Traffic Management Group is seeking enthusiastic and self‑motivated applicants for Network Coordination Technician posts (full time).

You will work within a team managing applications from works promoters to perform street works on Devon’s highways. You will monitor network activity compliance and deal with the coordination, assessment and approval or rejection of permit applications.
