About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for either a town planner looking to develop their development management experience or a recent graduate looking to get into the planning field with an opportunity to train through an apprenticeship scheme. Working across the diverse county of Cambridgeshire, you will join a friendly and busy team which is expanding and rising to the challenge of delivering an ambitious and wide ranging growth agenda.
Cambridgeshire is a rapidly growing area with major new development planned, including new settlements, and the successful candidate will deal with planning applications made by the County Council for its own development which will include proposals for new infrastructure such as new schools. You may also be dealing with planning applications for mineral and waste management development (training will be given).
If you would like to discuss this post informally please telephone Deborah Jeakins on 07468 719657.
What will you be doing?
You will be responsible for a range of planning applications so you will have good organisational and time management skills and have an eye for detail.
About you
You will be enthusiastic, with a planning or related degree, and ideally with some experience already in planning (development management). You should have a strong work ethic, and either already be working towards achieving the MRTPI standard or be prepared to start on the journey to acquire your planning masters degree.
This post is ideal for someone that has already obtained their planning degree or is prepared to work towards this through the apprenticeship scheme. So come and join us, and help to deliver the growth agenda across the county.
