ABOUT THE ROLE

MOLA would welcome applications from candidates who have experience of large/complex schemes and infrastructure projects.
You will be a strong and innovative multi-tasker, able to integrate with other team specialisms such as Consultancy, Community Engagement and Built Heritage into project design and delivery models. You will be a confident negotiator, able to communicate across a wide range of stakeholder interests, with a sound working knowledge of National Planning Policy Frameworks and the planning process.
