South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council are two ambitious local authorities working together to provide services to our communities. Our Councils have adopted new, exciting, innovative and forward-looking corporate strategies setting out our visions and priorities for our unique areas.&nbsp;
To support this work, we are currently&nbsp;seeking to recruit a Senior Project Officer to our team to provide project management and leadership to a range of Capital Delivery and Infrastructure projects impacting on services across the Council.
You will be confident in leading, planning and controlling several projects at any one time and be able to matrix manage project team members (some externally sourced) to successfully deliver project outcomes.
An early priority for the successful candidate will be to develop and embed the Councils’ approach to Project Management. The team’s annual delivery plan and Capital Delivery Plan Projects vary from housing, carbon reduction programmes, coastal protection and waste management.
You should be able to demonstrate recent, significant project management experience (e.g. design a brief, procurement, VFM assessments, business cases and report writing) and the ability to effectively engage with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.&nbsp; Your background could vary from RICS (building surveyor), Civil Engineering or CIOB but real-world experience is just as important.
If you join us, you will become part of a highly skilled, motivated and positive team which is determined to give good value for money and a high-quality experience to our customers.
For an informal discussion please contact Gerry Mills, Head of Capital Delivery and Infrastructure on&nbsp;<a href="mailto:Gerry.mills@swdevon.gov.uk" target="_blank">Gerry.mills@swdevon.gov.uk</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;01803 861 480
Closing date: Thursday 13 November 2025
Interviews will be held in person at our Follaton House Offices, Totnes, TQ9 5NE onTuesday 25 November 2025
