37 hours – Permanent

At Broxtowe Borough Council we are passionate about our parks, green spaces and public realm, and the role they play in supporting communities, health and wellbeing. We are committed to ensuring that our green infrastructure and associated assets are safe, functional and welcoming, and this role is key to delivering that ambition.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Environmental Development Officer to join our Environment Team. This role focuses on the design, delivery and maintenance of parks and play infrastructure, including play areas, footpaths, drainage features and associated structural assets across the Borough.

Working closely with colleagues, contractors and community partners, you will support capital improvement projects, undertake cyclical inspections of infrastructure assets, and ensure works are delivered safely, compliantly and to a high standard. This is a varied and practical role that combines project delivery, asset management and partnership working.

The role is primarily based at our Kimberley Depot, with regular travel across the Borough and attendance at site meetings as required.

In return, we offer the opportunity to be part of a committed and supportive team, dedicated to maintaining high quality public spaces for residents and visitors alike, alongside competitive leave entitlement and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.
