An established and growing planning consultancy is looking to appoint a Graduate Planner or Planner to join its team.
This would suit someone in the early stages of their planning career, perhaps with around 12 months’ experience in either consultancy or local authority planning, who is looking for broader project exposure, greater responsibility and a clear route to develop professionally.
The role
You’ll work alongside experienced planners on a varied portfolio of projects, supporting clients through different stages of the planning process.
Your work will include:
- Preparing and submitting planning applications.
- Undertaking planning research, site appraisals and policy reviews.
- Preparing planning statements and supporting documentation.
- Liaising with local authorities, clients and other professional consultants.
- Supporting more senior colleagues on larger or more complex projects.
- Assisting with planning appeals and development proposals.
- Keeping up to date with changes in planning policy and legislation.
- Gradually taking greater ownership of projects as your experience develops.
About you
You’ll ideally have:
- A degree in Town Planning or a related discipline.
- Around one year’s relevant planning experience, although strong graduates with good practical experience will also be considered.
- Experience gained within a planning consultancy, local authority or similar environment.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- A genuine interest in developing a career in town planning.
- An interest in working towards RTPI chartership.
- A proactive, personable approach and willingness to learn.
This is a good opportunity for an early-career planner who wants to build their experience quickly, work across a varied range of projects and progress within a supportive consultancy environment.
