We are Watford Borough Council, a Local Authority dedicated to making Watford a great place to live and work.

We are now looking for a Senior Projects Officer to join our busy Transport and Infrastructure team and support the delivery of a range of vital projects across Watford.

- Salary of £43,719 - £47,743 per annum (inclusive of local allowance)
- Market Factor Supplement of up to £3000 in addition to basic salary

This is the perfect opportunity for an individual with an engineering or surveying membership and a background in procuring and commissioning work and services to take their next step with our outstanding public sector organisation.

At a glance, Watford is currently experiencing £1.4bn of investment with five major development and regeneration projects, 3,500 registered businesses and an affordable local housing market.

We’re perfectly placed for individuals, families and businesses to relocate out of London but still be in touch with the capital and our highly skilled, higher-than-average working age population has meant that we are home to a number of major international head offices.

Watford is an amazing place to build your career and skillset whilst supporting our continuing efforts to develop and enhance our community. So, if you are ready for your next step, apply today.
