  • Business development and profile raising, as well as manage/deepen existing key relationships.
  • Leading client and design team meetings, and collaborating with multidisciplinary colleagues.
  • Project management and budgetary controls on projects.
  • Supporting more junior members of staff.

Ideally you will:

  • Have over 6 years in town planning in the UK and have managed some major schemes.
  • Have excellent communication and written skills.
  • Have some track record in business development.
  • Have a 'can do' attitude and be a team player.

This is an unrivalled opportunity to work within a team who are really working on some of the city and region's best projects, and to make a real mark in your career.

Please apply here or give me (Sheirani) a call on 0207 478 2478 to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.
