Job Reference: HCC622694
Salary Range: 27,780 - 30,564 per annum
Work Location: Elizabeth II Court, Winchester (Hybrid Working)
Hours per week: 37 (part time hours will be considered)
Contract Type: Permanent
Closing Date: 23 November 2025
The Role:
Hampshire County Council is seeking to recruit an Engineering Assistant within the Safer Roads and Parking Team, part of the Traffic and Safety Group. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team that plays a key role in improving road safety and managing traffic across the county. The team is responsible for monitoring Hampshire's highway network and implementing measures to reduce casualties and control traffic movements.
What you'll do:
As an Engineering Assistant, you will support the Safer Roads and Parking Team by assisting with the administration of both permanent and temporary Traffic Regulation Orders. You will also be involved in assessing abnormal load vehicle movement notifications. The role includes working closely with external partners such as the Police, as well as internal teams. You will provide both administrative and technical support, and while general administrative experience is beneficial, full training will be provided.
Apprenticeship Information
The post holder is expected to attend training and complete an 18 month L3 Business Administrator apprenticeship to develop knowledge, skills and behaviours as set out in the L3 Business Administrator standard.
This position will also be considered as an apprenticeship role with the expectation that the successful applicant will complete a Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship.
This opportunity is advertised as full time; however, we are also happy to consider applications from people wanting to work on a part time basis and/or wanting to work flexibly.
What we're looking for:
We are looking for motivated individuals who are keen to contribute to safer communities. You should be able to work independently, use your initiative, and meet deadlines effectively. Strong organisational skills and attention to detail are important, and while prior administrative experience is helpful, it is not essential. Most importantly, we welcome applicants who are enthusiastic about being part of a successful, community-focused road safety team.
