We Are St Helens Borough Council

We provide a wide range of local authority services to the residents, businesses, schools, and visitors to the borough. We can only do this because of our highly valued, highly skilled workforce.
Working together, our workplace vision and values guide our organisation, and the contribution of our workforce is key to our culture journey. Employees with us receive a wide range of benefits including well-being in work, financial benefits, ways of working and learning and development support.
Making A Difference as an Engineer within the Highways & Infrastructure Team.
This is an exciting time to join our Highways and Infrastructure Team here in St Helens, to help us drive forward and support the delivery of the Council’s ambitious Borough strategy. We want you to be part of our new team that is tasked with making us a leading highway authority, efficiently managing, maintaining, and improving our network and supporting economic growth.
With a recently adopted new 5-year Highways Asset Management Strategy and a significantly uplifted 5-year funding settlement now is the perfect time to join us and support the Council during one of its most exciting phases of development, regeneration and growth.
With a maintenance programme exceeding £30m and some of the region’s biggest transport schemes underway, including the Parkside Link Road, the highways service has never had a more integral role to play.
