Do you have excellent commercial attributes, including communication and negotiation skills and want to develop your career in the local authority?

The services delivered by the Communities, Economy and Transport department (CET) have an enormous impact on the lives of local people and communities. From operating waste facilities and registration offices, to maintaining roads and major infrastructure planning, the moment an East Sussex resident steps outside their front door, they are interacting with our work. Therefore, roles in our department offer enormous scope to make a positive impact on the quality of life for people and the environment of East Sussex.

You will be working across teams, other authorities, and agencies, with residents and communities of East Sussex at the heart of everything you do.

We are looking for candidates with:

  • NEC Contract administration and commercial skills
  • Proven negotiating and influencing skills
  • The ability to communicate effectively with a range of customers and external partners and to use tact and diplomacy

If you meet these requirements and are looking to develop your career and knowledge within East Sussex Highways, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
