Trainee Traffic Management Operatives – London Borough of Camden

A bit about Hatton Traffic Management:

Hatton Traffic Management is a leading provider of temporary traffic management services along our nation’s roads. We install the safety system around highway work sites to keep workers and the public protected. These systems will range anything from portable traffic lights in the city through to lane closures on the motorways.

Hatton has developed from a small family firm in the Northeast of England 40 years ago into a major force across England and Scotland within the highways, rail, and utilities sectors, working closely with our clients, as a key part of their integrated supply chain.

Over the past 8 years particularly, we have grown year on year from a turnover of £5million to £20+million in the coming year. We have won contracts with major Tier 1 contractors (Costain, Skanska, Balfour Beatty etc) as well as long-term frameworks with major utility companies during this period. We have a significant forward-looking order book already in place, and many exciting tender opportunities in the pipeline.
