Head of Service Building Control – Leeds City Council

Leeds – Up to £77,020

To deliver our ambition we need leaders with energy, confidence and experience in this key role.

Leeds continues to deliver beyond expectations and contribute over and above to the wider UK economy. We continue to make our mark regionally, nationally, and globally, celebrating the broad range of talent and assets that we have across all areas of the city.

Our Leeds Ambitions set out a positive vision for the future of Leeds – one which recognises the amazing strengths and opportunities we still have. Our economy is growing and continues to attract investment making Leeds a better place to do business and a great place to live. The partnerships which drive our efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of our population are as good as you will find anywhere in the country. And Leeds is once again leading the way in demonstrating how we can meaningfully tackle climate change, recently being one of only 119 global cities to receive the highest ‘A grade’ by the Carbon Disclosure Project.

If you are looking for a varied and exciting property portfolio with a forward-thinking council, then Leeds could be the place for you.

Due to the retirement of David Pickles, we are seeking a new Head of Service Building Control to lead our strong team in driving forward new policies, developing market and government facing credentials and bringing about the change needed to continue to deliver high standards in a national and global city.

With the leadership qualities and experience to build and lead strong professional teams, and the ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment you’ll bring the presence and confidence to deal with the broadest range of requirements and be ready to operate in a regional and global city.
