Who You Are
You're already working as a Surfacing Supervisor or Site Foreman, leading machine-lay road surfacing operations on strategic or local highways. You're used to running sites safely and efficiently, maintaining compliance, and working collaboratively with delivery and commercial teams.
You may currently be working for a national surfacing contractor, a principal highways contractor, or a regional infrastructure firm - but you'll know what it means to lead crews in a live road environment and how to get the job done properly, not just quickly.
Ideally, you have extensive experience of:
Supervising direct labour and specialist subcontractors (e.g. planing, barrier, lining, paver hire)
Delivering schemes with night working, TM coordination, or complex phasing
Being commercially aware - understanding out-of-scope work, tracking quantities, and preventing slippage
Setting the tone on site with a calm, firm, safety-first presence
Minimum Requirements
Valid CSCS card (Supervisor level)
SSSTS or SMSTS
Ideally a NRSWA Supervisor ticket (preferred but not essential)
Willingness to work flexible shifts: 9pm-5am, 7pm-1am, some weekends (enhanced pay applies)
A driving licence and a professional, proactive approach to site leadership and compliance

West & South Yorkshire
Local council frameworks and framework partnerships
Easy commute from Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Goole, Bradford, Pontefract and surrounding areas.
This is not just a shift job - it's a key operational leadership position.
You'll be trusted to take control of your sites, influence commercial decisions, and represent your team with pride.
