After the Municipal election of 2005 the Municipality of Ekurhuleni embarked on a restructuring of the administration. One outcome so far is the formation of the new Environmental Department out of 4 previous directorates. The new department has a staff of some 5000.

The Department has embarked on setting up the (new) structure, based on the strategic needs and requirements to the department, the capacities and resources brought together, etc.  The assignment will analyze the needs, set up the structure, provide principal job descriptions and set up a plan of implementation and staff development.
