Major Sites Delivery Officer

We offer a wide range of career opportunities at every level of the organisation. From apprenticeships to senior management, permanent to fixed term contracts or part-time working, we have something for everyone.

Warwick District Council is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Planner or Planning and Development Surveyor to lead the delivery of exciting major developments for the Council. This is a complex and challenging area but a fantastic opportunity to bring forward high-quality development and timely infrastructure on the most significant sites in the district.

This role sits within the Planning Policy and Major Sites Delivery team of the Council, responsible for matters relating to planning policy, site delivery, development monitoring and the Community Infrastructure Levy.

This post will involve working closely with developers and infrastructure providers to help shape masterplans for strategic sites (potentially including new settlements) and to ensure infrastructure delivery to meet the needs of our communities. The work will also involve the careful monitoring and management of development. This post is likely to focus on development proposals in a specific geographic area of the district, although the postholder may be asked to work on sites and projects across the district.

You will need to be self-motivated and enthusiastic, with a successful track record of working on master planning and/or delivery of major development sites. You will need to have strong collaboration, communication and negotiation skills, along with an understanding of development viability and the planning system.

You will also need to have experience of working with key stakeholders in the development process. If you think that you fit the criteria, then we would love to hear from you.

The intention is for the postholder to work predominately from home however, it is a requirement to attend our offices or sites within Warwick District as required. Any costs for travel from home to the office will be met by the successful candidate. However, hybrid and office working is also available.

Here at Warwick District Council, we pride ourselves on the fact that we offer you a great place to work.
We achieve our goals by recruiting and retaining motivated, empowered and flexible staff. We are committed to training and development, and we encourage a healthy work-life balance.
