Responsible for managing Kier Groups WSP supply chain partners in delivering civil engineering schemes and related projects as part of the current highways partnering contract. Ensuring the delivery of maintenance and improvement schemes to a strict programme and within an allocated budget. Works involve footpath reconstruction/resurfacing, drainage, carriageway reconstruction and bridge repairs. Dealing day to day with subcontractors and solving issues as they arise, managing budgets and keeping on top of site H&S. Requires an awareness of the challenges in carrying out works on a live public highway and therefore an awareness of health and safety requirements in delivering civil engineering projects in such an environment.
Plan, design and implement traffic signal maintenance, improvement and new build schemes to specification, budget and agreed targets within Northamptonshire. • Produce traffic signal designs for developers. • Develop and produce detailed AutoCAD drawings to a high standard (2D only). • Write TR2500 controller specifications. • F.A.T. and S.A.T. new traffic signal sites. • Understanding of MOVA and SCOOT. • Preparation of bills of quantities. • Managing projects from the preliminary design stage through to post completion.
My role involves design, construction and maintenance of traffic signal installations across Northamptonshire. It is my responsibility to complete all aspects of the design for new traffic signal installations, from simple Puffin crossings to more complex junctions. This includes preliminary studies and site visits, design using AutoCAD (including KeySignals and KeyLines packages), modeling using LinSig V3, completion of TR2500 forms, writing Bill of Quantities and factory acceptance tests. I also get involved in MOVA and SCOOT, both writing data sets and on site validation. It is also my responsibility to supervise these schemes when they get to the construction phase. This will often include spending time on site with the construction teams, making sure that my design is implemented correctly on site. It also includes the site acceptance testing of the traffic signal equipment once the construction is complete. I am also responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of various other installations that fall under the traffic signals category, such as Vehicle Activated Signs, Variable Message Signs and Real Time Passenger Information Signs. As part of my role it is important that I have a good understanding of the maintenance of traffic signals, which is why it helps that I spent the first year of my employment working in the netcom centre. The netcom centre deals with all aspects of maintenance of traffic signals in Northamptonshire, and is where all of the traffic signal operating systems are based. In my time working in maintenance I gained a good understanding of these systems, such as UTC, fault reporting systems, fault analysis and management.
