• Co-ordinate internal and external stakeholders to deliver projects in accordance with the councils requirements.

• Collaborate with officers and waste teams to ensure the procurement of the vehicles, waste receptacles, staff and other resources are managed and complaint.

• Chair and organise project management meetings and attend Council Programme board meetings.

• Prepare and present data, in various formats, to key stakeholders, including senior officers, elected members and residents.

• Liaise and co-ordinate a range of council teams, external partners and consultees on project matters.
