Environment Planning and Engagement Manager – 32150
Are you passionate about protecting communities and want to help make our environment a better place? If you would like to make a tangible difference in the environment of 6.2 million people across the West Midlands every day, this is the role for you.
We’re looking for a high‑performing individual to help shape delivery of outcomes across the West Midlands. As our Environment Planning and Engagement (EPE) Manager you will lead our Executive Coordination Management team and provide a high‑quality Communication and Engagement service for the West Midlands area and our customers. You will be focused on the day‑to‑day running of our business, ensuring we make the best use of our resources and demonstrating efficiency and effectiveness.
This role is fundamental to our whole Area Leadership Team, driving integrations across our remit and our West Midlands culture. Your work will be conducted in a high‑freedom environment that supports the well‑being of our people and embraces inspirational leadership.
We are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share.

Additional training and alternative working arrangements will be available.
As a leader you’ll be an active and visible member of the Area Leadership Team (ALT) inside and outside the organisation, role‑modeling our leadership behaviours and creating an inclusive environment where people can be their best. The successful candidate will work closely with all ALT and take responsibility for their own remit.
