Your New Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Maintenance Technician to join our TSIC account in Cumbernauld. This will be an on-site, mobile role working on Highways in Central Belt. 

The Maintenance Technician plays an important part in undertaking planned and reactive maintenance work on highways control technology installations throughout Scotland. This includes CCTV, traffic monitoring units, variable message signs, emergency telephones and other in-station and out-station equipment, mainly motorway based. 

The standard hours of work are 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday. 

Our TSIC account is working in partnership with Traffic Scotland on behalf of Transport for Scotland since 2004. We are responsible for operating, maintaining, and upgrading the motorway and trunk road technology infrastructure across the whole of Scotland. 

With over 12,000 intelligent transport system (ITS) assets across Scotland our teams operate and maintain variable messaging signs, CCTV, emergency roadside telephones (ERTs) and various power and communication cabinets.

In addition to this, we manage and maintain hundreds of miles of the motorway and trunk road network across Scotland, as well as providing key consultancy services such as asset management, design services and environmental management. 

Our focus is on delivering reliable journey times and a high level of customer care for the people and businesses that use these roads every day.

Maintenance Technicianwill be responsible for:

• Undertaking inspections and diagnostic checks on highways control technology and electrical assets in line with planned and reactive maintenance.
• Response to urgent faults and emergency repairs.
• Completion of planned preventative maintenance and inspections and reporting in line with defined schedules.
• Ensuring that all work is carried out to current electrical and highway communications standards.
• You will also be required to work on a standby rota.

We want to hear from you if you are competent in the use of hand/powered tools and test equipment required to maintain, test and re-commission systems. Due to the nature of this role you must hold a valid driving licence.

Ideally you will have a national certificate in an electronic / electrical discipline, and vocational qualifications in the electrotechnical or telecommunications field. In addition to this, it would be desirable if you have field installation and servicing role to help you hit the ground running, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.
