The Highway Capital Maintenance Team is integral to preserving the integrity and functionality of our highway infrastructure, crucial for ensuring public safety and facilitating economic growth.

Our focus is on critical maintenance activities, including patching, surface dressing, and resurfacing schemes, to address deterioration and extend the lifespan of our roads and footways. These activities are pivotal in preventing deterioration, enhancing road safety, and improving driving conditions for the community.

The ideal candidate will possess a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices associated with highway maintenance and rehabilitation.

This includes a strong background in programming highway works, selecting suitable materials and techniques for patching, surface dressing, and resurfacing, as well as managing the logistical aspects of project delivery.
