Principal Regeneration Manager

Help shape the future of Derbyshire Dales! We’re looking for a proactive Principal Regeneration Manager to lead ambitious regeneration projects, unlock stalled sites, and deliver schemes that make a real impact.

This role is broad, and you’ll be involved in consultation, partnership development, master-planning, preparing external funding bids, procurement, contract management and project implementation. We need you to develop shovel-ready projects to access external funding such as the East Midlands Combined County Authority, then lead them throughout all stages to build out.

You will commission feasibility studies, site investigations, options appraisals and masterplans to help bring sites forward in partnership with private landowners.

If you are a hands-on ‘doer,’ who proactively drives schemes continuously from concept through to post-completion, can take partners with you and have at least three years’ experience of regeneration projects in a local authority context (and you meet the essential requirements of the role) then we want to hear from you.

Derbyshire Dales is a beautiful place to live, work and visit. We have fantastic towns and countryside, all within easy reach of Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham and Derby. We offer an excellent quality of life within a family-friendly organisation that delivers high quality services and where the right candidate will be able to make a real impact.

We have a strong ‘One Team, One Council’ culture. Alongside excellent quality of life, we can offer you the opportunity to further develop your career with the benefits of hybrid working, flexitime, and free staff car parking at Matlock Town Hall.

We are holding a short information session on Thursday 29 January at 12 noon on Teams to hear from the Director of Place and Economy and our Regeneration Manager about working at Derbyshire Dales. To register for the session please contact humanresources@derbyshiredales.gov.uk.
