Job Description
Ready to make your mark on the future of Scottish places and spaces? We’re working with a respected, design-led practice in Glasgow that’s looking to grow its in-house town planning team. This is a rare chance to step into a role where planners aren't an afterthought - you’ll be involved right from the start, shaping how communities develop, evolve, and thrive.
You’ll join a collaborative studio environment where architects, masterplanners, and town planners work side by side. Your voice will matter from concept stage through to delivery, and your planning insight will help steer large-scale, often complex projects across sectors like healthcare, education, commercial and mixed-use. This is strategic, hands-on work with real impact - not box-ticking or endless appeals paperwork.
The role is ideal for an MRTPI planner with around five years’ post-qualification experience, ideally gained in private consultancy or a multidisciplinary setting. You should feel confident leading on planning strategy, engaging with local authorities, and guiding design teams through policy and process. If you’re already working towards an Associate-level position – or ready to step up into one – you’ll be well supported to grow.
There’s a competitive salary on offer (depending on experience), flexibility on hybrid working, and a genuinely supportive team culture where professional development is taken seriously. If you're looking for a role where planning is integral, not incidental, this could be the move that sets the tone for the next phase of your career.
