Eastleigh Borough Council is an ambitious and progressive council. We are recognised for our innovation and achievements, whilst delivering high quality service to our customers and the community. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a recent graduate to work on a very practical project that can have a positive impact upon the environment of the Borough.
The successful candidate will build up a directory of sites across the Eastleigh Borough Council area and will work with elected Members, professionals and community representatives in assessing the risks and opportunities for improvement.
Ideally, you will be educated to degree level in land or estates management, engineering or in the environmental sciences, as well as being organised, IT literate and an effective communicator with attention to detail. The ability to use GIS and work with minimum supervision is also required.
You will interact with a variety of internal and external colleagues and clients, so excellent interpersonal and team working skills are essential. The post requires travel around the borough, therefore a clean, full driving licence is also essential.

At Eastleigh, we are inclusive, innovative and enjoyable; we support employees in maintaining work-life balance through our flexi-time system and offer opportunities for career progression and development.
