The City of Leeds is rapidly changing and the Network Management team plays a central role in this process ensuring the effective operation of the city’s highway network, preventing unnecessary disruption for people, goods and services.
The team works with a wide range of people and organisations such as individual residents, developers, utility providers and internal works promoters as part of our duties. This planned work ranges from the licencing of skips through to the co-ordination of major highway works and international events such as the AJ Bell World Triathlon and Tour De Yorkshire. In addition, the team plays a leading role in the Council’s incident management processes when they impact on the network.
To help manage Leeds City Council’s Network Management Duty, the Council’s street works permit scheme has recently been amended to apply to all streets maintained by Leeds City Council, allowing greater control over the whole network and movement of traffic throughout the city. As a consequence of this and the unprecedented amount of large schemes planned for the next few years through programmes including the Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme and our Connecting Leeds proposals, we have a number of opportunities in the team at various levels.
These include the position of Area Network Officer; working with the Area Network Engineer the post holder will assess and respond to permit applications from various work promoters, along with requests for temporary road closures, and a variety of highway licence applications. In addition the post will be responsible for meeting work promoters to discuss works, and investigating customer enquiries on site to provide a satisfactory response. Applicants should have knowledge of the New Roads and Street Works Act, Traffic Management Act 2004, Highways Act and an understanding of highway activities and construction.
