Why Manchester…

Manchester is often ranked as one of the best cities in the world to live within international media circles, with ‘nightlife’, ‘creativity’, ‘community spirit’, ‘friendliness’ and ‘getting to know your neighbours’ top of the list.

Within the City, our 555,000+ residents live in every kind of housing from modern residential skyscrapers, traditional Victorian terraced neighbourhoods, to leafy suburban districts.

The Highways Service in Manchester has a key role to play in the evolution of our city, making sure our structural assets are maintained and are high-quality, safe, and sustainable. The Council’s stock of highway bridges (900nr) is maintained to a standard of inspection that meets or exceeds the risk-based interval requirements for the Inspection of Highway Structures. If you share Manchester’s clear ambitions in delivering high quality services in the city, we want to hear from you. If you’re successful, you’ll join a team of professionals pushing forward a high standard of service delivery, healthy, safe, sustainable, and accessible highway services within the city.

• A generous annual leave entitlement of up to 31 days paid leave (plus bank holidays) after a qualifying period of local government service and the ability to purchase an additional 10 days leave for full time employees.

In accordance with Home Office guidance, successful candidates must evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment.

When you join us, you’re joining a team of over 7,000 council staff helping to make our ambition for Manchester a reality. Whatever your role, you’ll be supporting our residents and communities to be the best they can be, and helping to build a Manchester that's fairer for everyone who lives, works, volunteers, studies or plays here.

To make our ambition a reality, every person we recruit needs to play their its part. It takes a certain type of behaviour, attitude and way of working to get Manchester where it wants to be. Our people and partners have agreed five ‘behaviours’ – the grounding for how we must work together and treat one another:

• We take time to listen and understand
• We work together and trust each other
• We show that we value our differences and treat each other fairly
• We ‘own it’ and we’re not afraid to try new things
• We’re proud and passionate about Manchester

A career with us means you can be yourself, thrive, and build the career your talent and ambition deserve.
