It is not essential that you have worked for a Council or the public sector previously, as appropriate mentoring and training will be provided.
The Council offers several benefits, including a generous pension scheme and leave allowance, various flexible working options, and access to appropriate further training and education. This includes a training agreement with the Institution of Civil Engineers to coordinate both the academic and practical training leading to a professional qualification: either EngTech MICE, IEng MICE, or CEng MICE.
