Are you looking for an opportunity to make Dorset a better place to live and work?
This is an interesting opportunity to join the Growth and Economic Regeneration Service.

You will be helping to improve health, reduce heating bills, and lower Carbon emissions through this project to install upgrades to homes in Dorset.
What You Can Expect To Be Doing
The Project Manager is the link between the government and our suppliers. The government provides funding and sets out needs while suppliers deal with residents and install improvements.
The job involves technical and people-centred work. You will ensure government money is well spent, home improvements are targeted at the appropriate people, and reporting is accurate and timely. You will also check local stakeholders know about the initiative and good quality referrals are made to and from the project.
