About The Role
As our Senior Traffic Order Officer, you will play a key part in enabling the delivery of a wide range of projects across Enfield. You’ll lead the drafting, checking and progression of permanent traffic orders in accordance with legislation, policy and best practice, ensuring they are robust, timely and compliant.

You’ll have an eye for detail, excellent organisation skills and the confidence to lead on technical drafting and process management. Experience working in a local authority or consultancy environment, and a good grasp of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Traffic Management Act 2004 and Highways Act 1980 is essential.
You’ll be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, with a track record of managing deadlines and communicating clearly across a range of audiences.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead on the drafting and legal processing of permanent Traffic Regulation Orders to support scheme delivery
- Input into statutory consultations and legal publication processes
