Job Description

Clerk of Works / Bridges Inspector - Structures
Waverley Court

Salary: £32,010 - £37,626
Hours: 36 per week

An opportunity has arisen within Roads & Infrastructure for the permanent post of Clerk of Works. This post is nominally based at the Council's Headquarters, Waverley Court, but generally this is a site-based post with some office and home-based working.

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to undertake this challenging but highly rewarding role. The successful candidate should have an interest in bridges and retaining walls and inspections, and previous experience will be beneficial. The Council has a vast array of over 500 interesting bridges and other structures. You will be part of a team undertaking inspections, and managing and co-ordinating the on-site works associated with Edinburgh's bridges, tunnels, gantries and retaining walls.

Duties may include:

1. General inspection of road structures (bridges, tunnels, gantries and retaining walls);
2. Preparation of contract documents for small maintenance projects such as masonry repairs, de-vegetation, graffiti removal or painting;
3. Deputising for Engineers and the Senior Engineer within the team;
4. Maintaining bridge records using the team's asset management database;
5. Preparation of engineering sketches and drawings;
6. Risk assessments;
7. Site supervision;
8. Response to structural emergencies such as collapsed cellars, bridge strikes or collapsed walls.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
