Huntingdonshire District Council aims to provide high quality services and this means we need to employ and retain talented and dedicated people.

This post is a vacancy in our Implementation Team. It is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and energetic professional who can demonstrate the qualities and potential to successfully deal with an interesting and varied caseload.

We are looking for a talented individual who can provide expert professional work on infrastructure planning and project delivery, the development of related project funding packages, the management of day-to-day project programme work, and developer contributions through the council’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106 planning obligations.

This is an exciting role providing opportunities to work with partners and engage in CaMkOx, East West Rail and other strategic infrastructure necessary to enable and deliver growth in our district. While supporting the Implementation Team Leader this post will also be working closely with the Service Manager for Growth, senior managers across the council. It will also involve working with local partners to identify infrastructure needs, the mitigation required, the funding package and the delivery mechanism.

The successful candidate must have good fundamental knowledge and understanding of relevant legislation and policies. You will need to have excellent communication and negotiation skills and you will be adaptable.

We are looking for a motivated self-starter with a can-do attitude, good problem solving skills and an ability to assimilate new information quickly. You will also have good organisational skills and an ability to work to tight deadlines whilst keeping records up to date. You may be an experienced professional with a background in planning, viability negotiation or infrastructure funding and delivery and would welcome working in a positive, creative, environment where the wellbeing of our residents and value for money is at the core of our business.

Above all it is essential that you demonstrate behaviours in line with our values and a passion and a commitment to continually seek to innovate and develop our workforce, which will in turn enable us to succeed in our strategic ambitions.
