What’s in it for you:
This is a role with a lot of scope to make great impact and influence. Our Waste Management service is one of the highest performing local authorities, but we recognise there is much more we can do.

About you:
You will have a degree in engineering or a related discipline and experience of delivering major construction projects with associated cost and budget control.
