We are looking for a dynamic and experienced planning professional who can lead, manage and develop Norfolk County Councils statutory role in the NSIP process for current and future schemes.
You will be directly responsible for a small team tasked with the management of NSIPs and for the collaborative engagement needed with different service areas and elected members to assess the impact of NSIP proposals.

You will be able to demonstrate a track record of shaping projects from their early stages through to delivery, with a proven ability to negotiate and influence the decisions of others to deliver desirable project outcomes.
You will have substantial post qualification planning experience and have an appreciation of operating in a political environment on often contentious and complex matters demonstrating your ability to collaborate with elected members, partners, and other organisations.
