About the role
Your new company
Birmingham City Council is one of the UK's largest local authorities, committed to maintaining safe, accessible, and compliant public spaces. As part of its ongoing efforts to ensure the city's highways are free from obstruction and misuse, the council is recruiting a Highway Enforcement Officer for a short-term contract with the potential for extension.
Your new role
As a Highway Enforcement Officer, you will be responsible for identifying and addressing obstructions, encroachments, and non-compliant use of the city's highways and roads. This includes monitoring businesses and vehicles that may be in breach of regulations. You will collect evidence, follow up on cases, and ensure appropriate enforcement actions are taken. You'll be trained on relevant enforcement legislation. You will be travelling across the city and therefore a driving licence is essential.
What you'll need to succeed
You should be observant, confident in dealing with the public, and capable of working independently while also being a reliable team player. A driving licence is essential as you will be commuting between locations. Prior enforcement experience is necessary, but you will be trained on highway legislation.
What you'll get in return
You'll receive a competitive hourly rate with holiday pay included and the chance to gain valuable experience in a public-facing enforcement role. If you perform well, there may be an opportunity for contract extensions or to apply for a permanent position within the council.
