Are you an experienced Highways Foreman who excels at driving high-quality, hands-on site delivery in busy, high-visibility urban environments?
We are partnering with a market-leading highways contractor to recruit a contract Highways Foreman for a high-profile roads and urban realm enhancement scheme in Central London's West End.
This is a fast-paced, logistically challenging project. If you have a strong background in leading surfacing crews, street works, and managing direct labor and subcontractors under TfL or local authority frameworks, this is an excellent scheme to run.

This contract focuses on urban modernization, pavement, travel infrastructure, and high-spec public realm upgrades. The work footprint includes:
- Surfacing & Roadworks: Structural resurfacing schemes and high-spec pavement construction.
- Urban Realm & Active Travel: Premium public realm enhancements, walking/cycling paths, and public transport access improvements.
- Associated Civils: Deep drainage, street lighting, lining, signing, and accessibility upgrades.
Key Responsibilities
You will oversee the day-to-day operations on-site, ensuring the safe, compliant, and efficient execution of the works, and deputizing for the Works Manager in their absence.
Operational & Crew Leadership
- Direct Site Leadership: Manage and coordinate direct labor gangs and specialized sub-contractors on-site, ensuring strict adherence to CDM regulations.
- Task Programming: Oversee external works, assisting with site scoping, labour/supplier programming, and resource allocation.
- Briefings & Records: Conduct daily site briefings/toolbox talks prior to starting works and prepare robust job briefing packs alongside the Works Manager.
- Resource Tracking: Ensure all time, plant, and material sheets are accurately completed and forwarded to the commercial team for payment processing.
Health, Safety & Compliance
- Safe Systems of Work (SSOW): Enforce strict on-site adherence to safety procedures, including specific permits for hot works and excavations.
- Incidents & Safety Observations: Champion a proactive safety culture, raise awareness of Safety Observations, and investigate any incidents or accidents within the required reporting timescales.
- Logistics & Fleet Compliance: Assist in managing "O Licence" requirements through regular vehicle check-sheet audits and coordinate with the Transport/Works Manager to ensure vehicle testing, servicing, and depot standards are met.
Requirements
- Proven Experience: Solid track record as a Foreman within the highways, surfacing, or civil engineering sectors (TfL or central London term maintenance contract experience is highly valued).
- Leadership & Drive: Able to work independently, manage sub-contractor performance, and drive high standards of workmanship from gangs under tight deadlines.
- Communication: Strong interpersonal and communication skills to effectively liaise with clients, public transport operators, and stakeholders of all levels.
- Key Certifications: CSCS Card, SSSTS or SMSTS, and a proven understanding of on-site Health & Safety legislation.
- An NRSWA (Street Works) Supervisor/Foreman certificate is highly beneficial.
What's on Offer?
- An initial 3-6 month contract with a reputable, busy highways contractor.
- A prestigious Central London scheme
- Highly competitive day rates paid weekly via CIS.
