Purpose of the Role
Allied Infrastructure, part of the Colas Group, works on 95% of the UK’s commercial, private, and military airfields, delivering specialist services in airfield pavement maintenance and small civil engineering projects. As a leader in the field, we offer an extensive range of specialist maintenance — from minor repairs using advanced products, deep saw cutting, and joint sealing, to the replacement of concrete and asphalt pavements, as well as the installation of airfield ground lighting and associated civils works.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to develop their career, as we are committed to supporting your professional growth and progression. You’ll have the chance to take on increasing responsibility and achieve promotion — not just within Allied Infrastructure, but across the wider Colas Group.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone with outstanding organisational, planning, and time management skills, who never compromises on standards or quality. You should bring strong leadership and negotiation abilities, with experience in civils, highways, or a similar environment.
