About the role
Bury is a proud and prosperous borough, home to thriving regeneration and growth opportunities, new housing developments, and a key partner in the Northern Gateway development.

This role of Assistant Director of Place Operations is central to creating a borough that is clean and green. It involves leading investments in highways, transport connectivity, and active travel to empower access to employment, education, and cultural opportunities. The role also focuses on unlocking new development sites and supporting the borough's sustainability ambitions.
