Director of Technical Services

Salary: £111,156 - £119,594 + Benefits

Carmarthenshire County Council is a high performing, vibrant and forward-thinking local Authority that is constantly looking to improve, and is committed to maintaining its excellent reputation for delivering first class services.

Our Technical Services department plays a very important role in the quality of life of our County, and our residents tell us that keeping our County clean and green is one of their top priorities.

As one of the largest local authorities in Wales, Carmarthenshire is now facing some of its toughest challenges, so we are looking for a dynamic, innovative, commercially aware individual who has a strong commitment to transforming services for the benefit of the public.

Are you our new Director of Technical Services?

If so, you will have considerable energy and drive, with a proven track record of successful leadership and strategic management within a multi-functional organisation of comparable scope and complexity.

You will have a developed understanding of the strategic drivers for the services for which you will be responsible. Crucially, you will know what first class services look like and how to help your staff achieve these standards within a demanding environment.

If you believe that you are the outstanding candidate that we are looking for, then we would really like to hear from you! We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic minority, as they are currently under-represented within Carmarthenshire County Council at management level.

For an informal discussion about this role, please contact Mark James, Chief Executive, Carmarthenshire County Council on 01267 224110.
