This is an exciting opportunity to lead a Building Control team on a beautiful island that never has a dull moment!
With around 90% of the market share and a range of domestic and commercial projects to deal with, there are also dangerous structures, the Isle of Wight Festival and land stability issues to deal with. You will take a lead role in providing technical assessments and making decisions on the full range of Building Control functions and supporting and mentoring team members to deliver a professional and helpful service.
An island community fosters a strong sense of place and pride, this role will play a key role in delivering a safe built environment that meets requirements and public expectation. While the overriding character of the island is rural, about 60 per cent of the island’s population live within the main towns of Newport, Cowes, East Cowes, Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin. Newport is the county town of the island and is the main employment centre.
The Isle of Wight is well known for the quality of its environment, with its landscapes and coastlines enjoying a high level of special designation and protection. While this helps to give the island its unique character, it also presents us with the challenge of protecting, conserving and enhancing the environment, while at the same time facilitating regeneration and development
There is also the opportunity to shape the team moving forward, to ensure it delivers on new Building Safety Act requirements. The post holder will be part of the Planning Services Leadership Team, working positively and proactively alongside the Strategic Manager and the three Planning Managers to deliver the Planning Service
