What our employees say
" Nottingham is a fiercely proud and ambitious city; one which understands where it's heading and what it needs to do to get there. To work in such a fast moving environment is undoubtedly both challenging and exhilarating. The opportunity to help Nottingham deliver its environmental ambitions was what appealed to me the most and I think, is a once in a lifetime career opportunity. If you thrive in fast moving, ambitious and progressive organisations, then you'll love Nottingham."
