Professional business services 

There's no National Highways without our diverse business services. These teams provide day-to-day professional infrastructure that allows our business to thrive. 

Strategy and planning 

We offer a host of opportunities at every level of this discipline. You could find yourself leading client sponsorship of our capital portfolio, managing the programme office for a major strategic initiative, or supporting the achievement of value for money as an economist or evaluation officer. 

Communications 

Our Communications professionals play a key role in raising our profile, generating customer insight, building partnerships, and driving stakeholder engagement. You could create and manage strategic communications and campaigns with compelling content and engaging design or specialise in public affairs, press relations, marketing or customer experience. 

Internal communications are equally important, ensuring key messages are shared across the business and enhancing collaboration. 

 

Legal 

Our business is powered by a host of legal expertise ranging from providing legal advice and contract negotiation, to advising on complex planning matters and supporting investment decisions. 

Human resources (HR)  

Of course, the real power behind National Highways is our people. We rely on all manner of HR expertise to support, coach, advise and partner the business on matters including people management, compensation and benefits, resourcing, performance, talent management, well-being, and learning and development. 

Commercial and procurement 

Commercial and procurement roles require strong financial acumen and budget management, but most importantly it’s about understanding the impact behind the numbers. 

Close collaboration with suppliers is key to our success. Our supply chain delivers essential services for the strategic road network, and by fostering strong partnerships, managing procurement effectively and ensuring supplier performance, you help deliver value for money. 

With a commercial mindset and attention to detail, you'll ensure road users receive the highest quality services. 

Finance

Business partners work closely with departments, integrating financial insight into daily operations. Roles range from Assistant Finance Business Partner to Head of Finance Business Partners, with Corporate Finance Managers and specialists in financial planning, fraud and audit also playing vital roles in our success.
