As our Senior Traffic Order Officer, you will play a key part in enabling the delivery of a wide range of projects across Enfield. You’ll lead the drafting, checking and progression of permanent traffic orders in accordance with legislation, policy and best practice, ensuring they are robust, timely and compliant.
