About the Role

Are you ready to take your next step into a role that combines long-term stability with real opportunity for growth? As a Maintenance Supervisor on the M25 network, you’ll be at the heart of a major infrastructure project with 15 years of planned work still ahead—offering you both security and the chance to make a lasting impact.

This is more than a job—it’s a career path full of purpose, excitement, and continuous development.

From managing operatives and subcontractors to overseeing vital assets such as pavements, barriers, and signage, your role will be central to keeping this key route moving.

You’ll thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same—planning works, identifying and solving defects, briefing teams, and driving forward improvements that make a real difference. With a clear focus on safety, innovation, and excellence, you’ll help shape the future of the network while developing your own leadership capabilities.

• Communicating clearly and effectively: Deliver briefings and debriefs that inform and inspire, provide constructive feedback, and keep communication flowing across teams.

• Empowering your team: Manage staffing, performance, and development, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels encouraged to grow.

• Driving improvement: Embrace innovation, champion cost-efficiency, and explore smarter, more sustainable ways of working.

• Making a difference: Help maintain the UK’s busiest motorway while contributing to a project with 15 years of planned activity ahead—offering you genuine long-term career security and growth.
