About the role
Planning services in NI are delivered by the eleven local councils and the Department for Infrastructure (DfI), collectively referred to as the Planning Authorities. The delivery of planning functions across the Planning Authorities is supported by the current IT system, the Northern Ireland Planning Portal (NIPP).

The NIPP is reaching the end of its operational life and the Planning Authorities have been working together to provide a new Planning IT System. This is considered to be a high profile project of strategic importance to both central and local government

The next phase of the project involves working with the successful IT Supplier to configure, test and implement the IT system. The Project Board agreed to revise the Project Team to be better placed to engage with the IT Supplier. This team structure is attached. There is an opportunity within the Project Team for a Training Lead at DP / SPTO level.
