About the role
We are seeking an enthusiastic person to works as a Street Works FPN Officer, based in our Huntingdon office. This is an exciting opportunity to enable the effective delivery of Cambridgeshire’s Street Works and Permitting Service by managing the income generation and financial processes for Street Works and Permit fees, Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) and New Roads and Street Works Act charges.
