Working for Us
The Transportation and Asset Management Department
The Transportation and Asset Management Department is a multi-disciplinary Department including Highways, Transportation, Engineering, Building and Property Services, Valuation, Transport Co-Ordination, Building Maintenance and Facilities Management.
It has adopted a whole-life approach to construction and the management of Assets and Highways. The Department uses a mixed economy approach to delivery of its service and this requires Operational Managers to adopt a pro-active approach to managing the challenging requirements of partners and funding bodies who set demanding objectives and timescales.
