National Highways Careers and Employment

Very little chances of progression, potentially long hours on some days and quiet on other days. Understaffed for sure, try to put as many resources across projects as possible.

No real opportunity for advancement. Shift pattern at the time wasn’t fantastic.People there were nice to work with.Pay should have been slightly more

Traffic Officer in West Midlands

Poor culture, issues are left unresolved.

Poor senior leadership and HR being the worst of a company I’ve experienced. Loosing peoples personal details, not paying correctly. Inability to resolve issues due to not wanting to make decisions. This breeds a poor attitude culture of people who can get away with what they like. Lowest paid high speed / motorway workers. Understaffed. High pressure.

interesting place

8 hour day with an hour Break,thats if they arnt short of staff so no break!training was poor,Mangement was poormentoring was poorshort of staffno breakyou work 6 days on which is challenging because your last working day sometimes went in to your day off, so when the company says 6 on 3 off,thats not really the truth. So if your 6th day and you do a night shift and you finish at 6am on your day off!! i would give it a no star for the review if there was a option

Interview questions

Research the role and the organisation. Know facts about them and the role before you turn up. Are there any company values, quotes, standards or catchphrases that THEY use and more importantly that they may ask you about. Read the job description - it's a fair bet they are going to ask you to demonstrate the key requirements. This is your homework for any interview with anyone surely. Make being prepared your mission.
