Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an individual with a core background in planning and additional experience in team management and project management, who can deliver an increasing programme of wastewater and clean water supply projects.

The range of projects will involve design and procurement through to construction, involving the monitoring of KPIs across the project portfolios.

If you are passionate about delivering projects that benefit the environment, this role could be perfect for you.

What you'll do:

As a Lead Planner, you will have the freedom and responsibility to lead and coach a team of Planners.

Reporting to the Planning Manager, you will join a diverse and inclusive planning team, helping to deliver projects ranging in value from £1m to £100m.
