As our Asset Systems Engineer, you'll be at the heart of that process.

You'll help ensure that asset systems provide reliable information, support strategic investment decisions, improve service performance, and enable the Council to deliver value for money for residents and communities across Cambridgeshire. 

This is a unique opportunity to combine engineering, digital technology, data analysis, leadership, and innovation in a role that delivers real-world impact

What will you be doing?

You'll take ownership of a suite of highway asset management systems, ensuring they are effective, reliable, and delivering value to the service. You'll lead system improvements, support procurement exercises, work with suppliers and stakeholders, and champion a data-first approach to highway asset management. 

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Leading the development, management, and continuous improvement of highway asset systems.
• Transforming data into actionable intelligence to support investment decisions and maintenance programmes.
