Permanent Post
Here at Warwick District Council, we pride ourselves on providing 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.
Role Overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Planner or Planning and Development Surveyor to lead the Council’s work in the complex and challenging area of bringing forward high‑quality development and timely infrastructure on major development sites. This role sits within the Planning Policy and Delivery team, responsible for matters relating to planning policy, site delivery, development monitoring and the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The post involves working closely with developers and infrastructure providers to help shape masterplans for strategic sites (potentially including new settlements) and to ensure developer contributions are coordinated to deliver infrastructure requirements. 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. Experience of working with key stakeholders in the development process is also required.
