Do you have significant project management experience?
Now is a great time to join our forward-thinking and dynamic Planning & Building Control Service!
Barnsley is changing and with a recently adopted Local Plan aimed at preserving what is special about the borough whilst also providing significant economic and housing growth opportunities. In order to create fantastic, sustainable places it is necessary to ensure that the appropriate infrastructure is in place which mitigates the impact of new development. The council already has a highly successful Section 106 programme that is delivering state of the art sports facilities, children's play areas, walking and cycling routes, investment in local primary and secondary schools and much needed affordable housing.
The Local Plan includes policies that provide further opportunities to secure planning gain, with an increased emphasis being on sustainable travel. We have therefore created a new Section 106 Programme Manager to oversee this growing programme.
In return as our Programme Manager, you will receive:
- Flexible working scheme and holiday package
- Cycle2work scheme
- Technology purchase schemes
- Reduced gym membership and many more

Our ideal Programme Manager will have the below skills and experience:
