WORKFORCE

Head of Planning & Transport

Developments such as our striking Pier Cultural Centre and City Beach project mark us out as having a singular ambition. Named LGC Council of the Year 2012, we're looking for someone with comparable vision, confidence and sense of purpose.

Committed to building on Southend-on-Sea's role as a major force in our regional economy, we're also determined to enhance our reputation as an iconic British seaside resort and an ideal location for business or pleasure. Key to this is a built environment and transport infrastructure that supports economic growth, enhances accessibility and preserves our local identity and history.

Candidates need the capacity for strategic thinking, backed up by sound technical skills and a commitment to delivering high standards in exacting times. In what is a high profile role with an extensive remit, you should be a credible and able ambassador both for the Council and for Southend-on-Sea, and passionate about delivering the best for our local community.
