You will be able to demonstrate the ability to manage complex projects, an in-depth knowledge of clean growth, climate change, and environmental challenges to economic growth, and a clear understanding of emerging climate, environmental, and planning policies. You will also need to demonstrate the ability to work with a broad range of stakeholders to develop projects from conception through to delivery and a proven ability to negotiate and influence project outcomes.
You will demonstrate an appreciation of operating in a political environment on often contentious and complex matters and show an ability to collaborate with a range of different stakeholders such as elected members, businesses, and government advisory bodies.
