About the Role

Are you looking for more variety in the work you are doing at the moment, to advance your career? We are partnering with a planning consultancy team, who are currently in search of at least one Town Planner, ideally at Senior or Principal-level to join their team in Cardiff. They are a well-established business with long standing relationships & a loyal client base across the Wales and the South West and as a result, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of exciting applications, at varying scales of size, across residential, commercial and care schemes.

With a very active Director heading up the team, there is a focus on excellent planning work and client-relationships; you will be expected to support the business in retaining key clients as well as honing in on your own business development skills to support the business' growth plans.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Leading on medium and small-scale projects, and assisting seniors on major projects.
  • Continuing to maintain relationships with clients in providing accurate advice and communicating effectively.
  • Dealing with pre-apps and manage planning applications through the development process.
  • Communicating and negotiating with clients, stakeholders and local regularly.

Ideally, you should possess:

  • Between four and seven years of experience in planning, preferably within consultancy, although local planning authority (LPA) experience will be considered.
  • A strong skill set and expertise in development management and strategic planning.
  • MRTPI or equivalent.
  • Excellent written communication skills and strong interpersonal abilities.

This really is an exciting opportunity for the right person, and with their pipeline ever increasing, the role will give exposure to more major clients and be an excellent challenge. You will be part of a growing, dynamic and highly experienced team, with excellent prospects for career advancement, and working with a flexible working approach.

Please apply here or give me (Sheirani) a call on 0207 478 2523 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.

If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.

When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position.
