Town Planner – Edinburgh

Location: Edinburgh (with hybrid/flexible working)
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

We’re working with a respected planning consultancy that’s looking to add a Town Planner to its growing Edinburgh team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a practice with a diverse and expanding portfolio of work across Scotland and England , offering exposure to a wide variety of projects and clients.

About the Role

You’ll be involved in a stimulating mix of commercial planning applications —including retail, leisure, EV infrastructure, and industrial developments —as well as an increasing volume of energy projects , particularly solar farms .

The practice is well-established in Scotland but continues to expand south of the border, with plans to open a North of England office in the near future. As the team grows, there may be opportunities to take a lead role in shaping and supporting this expansion.

About You

We’re looking for a Town Planner with a few years of post-graduate experience—someone confident enough to take ownership of projects with limited day-to-day supervision, but still eager to grow and develop within a supportive team.

A particular interest in retail planning or strong Excel and data analysis skills would be especially valuable to support ongoing retail assessment work—but these are not essential.

Key Skills & Experience

  • RTPI-accredited degree or equivalent planning qualification
  • A few years’ experience in planning consultancy or local authority (ideally commercial/energy sectors)
  • Strong report writing and communication skills
  • Ability to manage projects and deadlines independently
  • (Desirable) Interest or experience in retail planning and data analysis
  • Why Apply?

  • Join a collaborative, ambitious, and growing team
  • Work across an exciting mix of sectors and regions
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Real scope for career progression as the company expands
  • If you’re looking for a new challenge where you can make an impact, contribute to major developments across the UK, and be part of a forward-thinking team—we’d love to hear from you.
