- NRSWA Streetworks Operative
The NRSWA operative courses are for anyone who wants to undertake physical work on roads within the UK. Including excavation, backfill, reinstatement, signing, guarding and using tarmac and cold-lay materials. On every site there needs to be at least one qualified operative who is there at all times. - NRSWA Streetworks Supervisor
The NRSWA supervisor courses are for anyone undertaking the supervisor role. A streetworks supervisor plans, monitors and supervises the streetworks operative and the works. The supervisor does not undertake any physical works. On every live site there must be at least one supervisor supervising the site, however they do not need to be there at all times and so can supervise a number of sites.
Please note: a person can have both the operative and supervisor qualifications which will allow them to work as the operative on one site and be the supervisor for another site. However, the same person cannot be operative and supervisor for the same site at the same time, it has to be two separate people. Previous experience of working on street works or on roads would assist the candidates but it is not essential.
