Help Keep the UK's Busiest Roads MovingAt Octavius Infrastructure, we're delivering some of the UK's most important highways projects, and we need someone who enjoys bringing people together, solving problems, and planning ahead to join our team as a Roadspace Planning & Assurance Coordinator.

If you're organised, proactive, and love the challenge of coordinating multiple moving parts, this could be the perfect opportunity.

-Attend planning, integration and coordination meetings with clients and project teams.

-Liaise with National Highways, TfL, local authorities, emergency services and framework partners to ensure works are delivered collaboratively.

-Manage bookings across multiple roadspace systems, including National Highways booking platforms, AERA and LondonWorks.

-Prepare and submit roadspace applications, departures, TTROs and ETROs.

-Keep daily reports and programme records accurate and up to date.

-Coordinate traffic management requirements with suppliers and designers.

-Identify potential clashes, risks and constraints before they become issues.

-Support continuous improvement by sharing best practice and helping shape roadspace processes across the business.

-Build strong relationships that support a joined-up approach to network occupancy and traffic management.

What we're looking forYou'll thrive in this role if you:

-Enjoy coordinating multiple stakeholders and keeping projects on track.

-Are confident communicating at all levels, from site teams to senior clients.

-Have excellent organisational and planning skills.

-Are comfortable working with a range of digital systems and databases.

-Take pride in attention to detail and maintaining accurate records.

-Are proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused.

-Can confidently manage competing priorities and changing project demands.

Experience we'd love to see

-Experience within roadspace planning, network occupancy, traffic management or highways operations.

-Understanding of roadspace booking procedures and permitting processes.

-Knowledge of traffic management principles and industry requirements.

-Experience working with roadspace booking systems and associated software.

-A good understanding of the M25 network would be highly advantageous.

-Strong IT skills and confidence working across multiple systems and platforms.

Why Octavius?We're proud to be a people-first business where everyone has the opportunity to grow, develop and make a difference.

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll receive:

-Company Car Scheme or Allowance

-Private Healthcare

-Pension Scheme

-Life Assurance

-25 Days Annual Leave plus your Birthday Off

-Enhanced Family-Friendly Policies

-Hybrid Working (where possible)

-Professional Development and Career Progression Opportunities

A role that makes an impactBehind every successful highways project is great planning. As a Roadspace Planning & Assurance Coordinator, you'll help ensure our projects are delivered safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to the travelling public.

If you enjoy collaboration, problem-solving, and being at the heart of major infrastructure projects, we'd love to hear from you.
