In time, they'd also be looking for this Traffic Manager to team up and liaise with their parent company's Traffic Managers on bigger projects, where multiple specialist teams would be working together.

HQ is in Gloucestershire, you could be fully remote, although it would be handy if you were somewhere near there or London. You'd have access to their London parent company's offices should you need them.

Aside from the salary bracket of between £40k - £50k, there are other benefits such as:

• 25 days' holiday ( 3 with long service)
• Death in service
• Income protection
• 5% bonus (which has been paid for the last 5 years)
