With a major investment in additional staffing, we can offer the following opportunities to widen your skills and shape the future of a thriving county with so much to offer.

As a planning officer, you will research policy and infrastructure issues and prepare reports with recommendations for project leads to use in planning documents, utilising databases and GIS.
