Planner (Development Management)
Permanent (37 Hours a Week)
Salary: £ 29636 - £ 32878 per annum
Due to the retirement of three long-standing and valued members of our team, and a minor re-structure of the team, four permanent planning / enforcement vacancies have opened up to join our friendly Development Management team and gain significant experience of working within a progressive Authority.
This Planner position offers an exciting opportunity to gain or build upon your experience or knowledge in an Authority which receives a wide variety of residential, commercial, leisure, energy and other exciting developments. You would have responsibility for managing a mixed case load of planning applications covering a wide range of development proposals, and any associated appeals, as well as the opportunity to work on larger development projects, controversial planning applications and appeal cases.
Our modern offices are based in Baglan Energy Park, Neath, though we are all currently working largely remotely at home due to Covid-19 and there are likely to be opportunities in future for such remote working to continue for some of the working week.
The post requires a planning qualification to Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) standard or relevant Development Management experience.
You will also need excellent communication, organisation and interpersonal skills, and a strong commitment to customer care. It is also essential that you have the ability to travel throughout the County Borough.
For an informal discussion, please contact the Development Manager – Planning, Steve Ball, on 01639 686727 or email s.ball@npt.gov.uk
Please note that interviews for these positions may need to be held remotely.
You may apply online, download an application pack or contact the HR Employment Support Team by e-mail at jobs@npt.gov.uk or by telephone (01639) 686837 quoting the post title and reference number.
Closing date: 12 noon, Thursday 30th July 2020
