Exciting opportunities to join our award‑winning Capital Programme and Project Delivery Team!
This role represents a fantastic opportunity to be an integral part of the transformation within a UNESCO World Heritage Site and UNESCO World Heritage Spa, around Britain’s only thermal springs, within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
You’ll be joining at a time when Bath and North‑East Somerset Council (B&NES) is undertaking a period of significant capital investment across a range of challenging projects throughout our unique and diverse property and asset portfolio.
The Capital Construction Programme is shaping the long‑term sustainability of housing, public spaces, social, historic, environmental and economic landscape of the area, as well as facilitating income‑generating initiatives.
