Street Lighting Technician (Project-Led Focus)
Location: Camden, London
Duration: 3 months (very likely to extend)
Location: Hybrid - Flexible working.
Rate: Negotiable
The Role:
We're working with a client to find a Street Lighting Technician (Project-Led Focus) who's more about strategy and project coordination than boots-on-the-ground operations. Think of this as a bridge role: you'll liaise between the Transport and Strategy teams while keeping an eye on design integrity, safety, and legislative compliance.
This role isn't for a standard maintenance operative. The hiring manager is after someone with technical depth and confident communication - someone who can manage inspections, speak the language of design standards, and help steer projects the right way.
- Act as the go-between for the Transport and Strategy teams on street lighting matters
- Support project delivery through inspections and technical input
- Review, comment on, and ensure adherence to lighting design standards
- Communicate effectively across departments and with contractors
- Provide technical insight into reports, maintenance plans, and service development
The Candidate:
- Project or programme support experience within public lighting or highways
- Strong communication and decision-making skills
- Familiarity with inspection procedures and public lighting design
- Good understanding of the following standards:
- BS5489
- BS EN13201
Bonus:
- Experience in local authority/public sector settings
- CDM Regulations awareness
- Able to supervise a small team (up to 3)
Work Environment & Flexibility:
- 1 day per week in the office; otherwise, flexible working
- Regular site visits and inspections as needed
- Supportive manager, realistic expectations
