South Norfolk Council is looking to welcome a strategic and experienced Senior Project Manager to our Growth Delivery Team in a role where you will lead the delivery of some of our most ambitious capital projects - from concept to completion, shaping the future of our districts.
This role offers the chance to work on enabling infrastructure, community and employment hubs, and town centre regeneration schemes-many at early feasibility stages. You'll act as the Council's client-side lead, guiding projects through the RIBA stages, securing funding, and ensuring delivery to time, cost, and quality.
Leading feasibility, design and delivery planning for major capital projects, you will develop robust business cases using the HMT Green Book five-case model. You'll appraise development viability and funding strategies, commission and manage multi-disciplinary teams and engage with landowners, developers and public sector partners to secure buy-in and deliver results.
About You
You'll have a degree-level qualification and considerable demonstrable experience in the built environment, with a strong understanding of planning, development, and construction. You'll be financially literate, experienced in managing complex projects, and confident in presenting to senior stakeholders.
Professional qualifications such as RICS, CIOB, RTPI, ARB (RIBA), or equivalent experience are highly desirable. We also welcome applications from professionals with specialist backgrounds (e.g. architecture, surveying, project management) looking to broaden their development management experience.
Closing Date: 2nd September 2025
Interview Date: To be confirmed.
