- You’ll collaborate across departments, partners and communities – putting co-production and trust at the heart of what you do.
- You’ll see the direct results of your leadership every day – in cleaner streets, greener parks, safer roads and more connected communities.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is a proven leader of operational services and large teams
