This is an opportunity to work on a diverse and challenging range of projects, from domestic developments through to complex urban regeneration schemes, while playing a key role in protecting public safety. You'll join a supportive, forward-thinking service that values professional expertise and actively invests in the development of its people. Whether you are looking to broaden your experience, progress your career, or simply be part of an ambitious service with strong leadership and investment behind it, Nottingham offers a compelling opportunity.
