The role

You’ll also be able to build a culture of high performance rooted in accountability, positivity and strong results. Chartered membership of a recognised professional body e.g. RICS, RIBA or CIBSE is essential.

In return, you can look forward to a competitive salary plus excellent benefits including the local government pension scheme, interest-free annual season ticket loans, hybrid working arrangements, our private staff sports club, retail and leisure discounts and free entry to selected galleries.
