Cobalt are thrilled to be partnered with an agile and forward-thinking town planning consultancy, with an ambitious business plan to expand over the coming years, offering up an excellent bonus scheme for OTE and possible equity after two years.

With inspiring leadership, a genuine care for their clients and team, they have a unique way of working with and charging clients, attached to an enviable commission scheme. In addition to this, their “work from anywhere” policy means that if you are not close to one of their offices, this is no issue, and they are happy to extend the network to either starting a new office, or having you do a weekly or bi-weekly visit to see the wider team and enjoy their fabulous offices.

* Fee generation to provide work for you and your future team.
