We're seeking an experienced highways or transport professional to lead our Highways Development Implementation Team and oversee the delivery of major developer-funded highway infrastructure across Derbyshire.

The role offers the opportunity to work on projects that have a visible and lasting impact on communities across the county.

- Proven leadership experience and the ability to lead and develop a high-performing team.
- Strong knowledge of highway infrastructure delivery and development-related agreements.
- Excellent stakeholder management and negotiation skills.
- Sound technical judgement and a solutions-focused approach.
- Professional membership or chartered status, or a commitment to achieving it.
What we can offer
- The opportunity to lead the delivery of major transport and highway infrastructure projects across Derbyshire.
- A role with genuine visibility and impact, helping to shape and support communities for years to come.
- A skilled, experienced and supportive team environment.
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
- Generous local government pension scheme.
- A comprehensive benefits package including annual leave, professional development opportunities, and employee wellbeing support.
