In the UK we're proud to be delivering some of the most iconic projects which help connect people, protect our environment and meet emission reduction targets. From motorways to tramways, nuclear power plants to smart cities, clients choose us to help them solve their most complex challenges - delivering climate-responsible growth that meets the needs of communities, industry, and the planet. 

The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.

We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract until 2039 and we are looking for someone to join our esteemed Connect Plus Services Technology Team and take on a leadership role in maintaining and enhancing the M25’s critical technological infrastructure. As a Lead Engineer, you will oversee and manage a team of up to four engineers and technicians, ensuring effective task allocation, performance management, and operational excellence.

Beyond management, you will play a hands-on role in the field, attending jobs where necessary and providing expert guidance to your team. Your team will be responsible for the cyclic maintenance and fault rectification of key roadside technology, including CCTV, Emergency Roadside Telephones (ERT), MIDAS, RCC, NTIS, HAWIS, Traffic Signals, and Message Signs. You will ensure all maintenance and repair activities are carried out in line with National Highways and Technology Services quality plans, meeting contractual requirements and timescales.

If you're ready to lead a dynamic team and contribute to the future of one of the UK’s most vital transportation networks, we invite you to join us.
