Join our team
We are looking for a Systems and Asset Data Specialist to join our dedicated team in Public Realm.
If you share our values and you are motivated to make a difference for our residents, clients, and communities, we would love to hear from you.
About The Team
The Public Realm Team is responsible for the management and maintenance of the councils’ countryside sites, parks, open spaces, and play areas. The team also oversees the council’s tree stock, grounds maintenance programmes, street cleansing operations, including litter collection and mechanical sweeping, and the removal of fly-tipping across the districts.
About The Role
In this exciting, innovative role, you will lead the development and management of our Public Realm systems, asset data, and spatial information.
You will be pivotal in ensuring that the information we hold about our assets is accurate, reliable, and effectively used to support decision-making, service planning, and day-to-day operations.
Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you will provide advice, drive improvements to digital systems and processes, and use data and insight to help deliver efficient, effective, and customer-focused Public Realm services.
You will play a key role in shaping how technology and asset intelligence support the delivery of services for our communities both now and in the future.
This is a hybrid role, where you will be expected to work from both the Mid Suffolk depot in Stowmarket and the Babergh depot in Sudbury, as well as from home.
About You
We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking data professional, with passion and drive to provide accurate data that supports decision-making and continuous service improvement.
