Further Information
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Development Management Officer within the Council’s Planning Team.
Peterborough has an ambitious growth agenda and the role is key to supporting the Council’s objective of delivering high quality development in a timely and efficient manner.
Peterborough is a unique combination of a New Town and historic Cathedral City. And one of the fastest growing places in the UK. The enviable parkway and cycleway networks mean you can get around Peterborough in next to no time. Located on the A1 and the East Coast Main Line, we are in a highly accessible location that makes us an attractive location for new business and homes.
As a result, we are currently experiencing considerable growth and investment, including a new University, new Station Quarter and new cultural facilities in the city centre, as well as new urban extensions on the edge of the city, and many other developments of all scales.
If you are looking to start a career in town planning, then Peterborough is the place to be. Experience of working in a planning environment or a town planning degree would be desirable but not essential to this role of Development Management Planner. The main characteristics we’re looking for are an interest in the built environment, self-motivation and a willingness to learn on the job. We’d welcome recent graduates from related disciplines such as geography, politics or real estate.
You’ll be dealing with a caseload of householder and simple applications. We are looking for someone who is hard working, enthusiastic and can fit into a team that thrives on collaboration. We have a proven track record for providing career progression through training and development opportunities for employees including modern apprenticeship, such as an RTPI recognised masters course in Town Planning.
The planning team is recognised within the Council as being vital to the continued growth of the city and you will play a part in that.
If you are interested in this role, please contact Lee Walsh on 07825 867209 or lee.walsh@peterborough.gov.uk
We are proud to serve the diverse communities of Peterborough and want our workforce to reflect this diversity, which we believe is beneficial for our employees, the organisation and the communities we serve.
