BEAR Scotland is a leading provider of road maintenance and management services, proudly responsible for the upkeep and enhancement of the country’s vital trunk road network — including bridges and key infrastructure — across some of the most scenic and challenging terrain in the UK.
Our North West Trunk Road Unit spans over 1,422km, stretching from the rugged beauty of Thurso and Wick in the far north, down to the coastal charm of Campbeltown in Argyll and Bute. It connects communities from Uig on the Isle of Skye to the historic cities of Perth and Stirling, offering a unique opportunity to work across a landscape that’s as diverse as it is inspiring.

Reporting to the Design Team Leader within our Asset Team, you will be responsible for the development of priority defect repairs, involving the design of traffic signs and interventions required to keep the trunk road safe for all users.

Compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
Compliance with Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality procedures that form part of the company’s Integrated Management Systems.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience:
