If you’re a Principal Planning Officer with experience in Major Projects, this could be a great opportunity in the East Midlands. Based in a well-connected East Midlands authority, the location is easily commutable from across the region and surrounding counties. The council is looking to strengthen its Major Projects Team, ideally with someone who has experience working on large-scale schemes of up to around 1,000 units. If your experience is slightly below this level, or you're looking to step up to Principal Planning Officer, I’d encourage you to apply — the right person with the right mindset is the most important factor. The role offers a flexible hybrid working arrangement, typically one day per week in the office (though this is open to negotiation) with the remainder working from home. With a strong pipeline of major applications, this is expected to be a long-term rolling contract. The pay rate is negotiable, but expected rates are between £50.00-£65.00 p/h, and the authority recognises the need for flexibility to secure the right candidate in the current market. If you’re keen on this or would like further details, give me a call on 07561 806 032 or send your CV to stephen @park-avenue.co.uk. Please note: Not all roles are advertised. I am working with numerous public sector Local Authorities across the East of England, Midlands and North region who require contractors from entry-level to Director level to join their Development Management, Planning Enforcement, and Policy teams. I would be more than happy to have a conversation about additional roles that may suit your experience
