Are you a chartered Town Planner at Director level in the South Wales market wanting to play a key part in our ambitious growth strategy? Do you have a proven track record in securing and delivering large scale projects? Have you lead and mentored teams and have a keen eye for identifying and pursuing opportunities for growth? If so, we would love to hear from you.
Our central Cardiff Office is made up of a team of planning professionals working on a wide variety of projects across Wales and the South West, within the residential, mixed-use, strategic, renewables, infrastructure and energy sectors. Based in the Creative Quarter it has easy access to public transport and is in the heart of the City Centre.
There is significant opportunity for further growth in planning across the Wales and South West region, and so we are looking to appoint a Planning Director to lead the pre-existing planning team and play a key part in the growth strategy of the team and office, developing and delivering opportunities and building on its success to date.
About you
Given the scale of the opportunity, you will be a chartered Town Planner operating at Director level (we may also consider an experienced Associate Director) with both excellent technical Planning skills and business development capability. Setting ourselves apart from our competitors and being leaders in our class is fundamental to our growth strategy, we are therefore looking for knowledge and experience gained from within the South Wales/West market and likely from a competing consultancy or private sector organisation.
You will ideally have experience of Local Plan Examination hearings, planning appeals and inquiries. We would consider applications from various sectors within Town Planning but if you have experience of shaping, directing and delivering medium-large scale residential projects and strategic land promotion schemes or city centre regeneration, this would be particularly advantageous. You will have a proven track record in securing and delivering projects, managing teams and identifying/pursuing opportunities for growth.
In return, the leadership team and the wider Wales and Southwest planning teams will offer a highly supportive approach, working with you to devise and implement the business development strategy for the region. The team have a solid pipeline of work across the Wales and South West region which you would be asked to support, in addition to building a pipeline of new work.
We believe that it is our people and their individual talents that make us special. We work within a friendly, inclusive, and supportive culture and one of high support and high challenge, where we are not afraid to take on new and greater responsibilities and are each individually encouraged to grow and flourish both personally and professionally, with genuine career opportunities based on merit. We create a working environment that offers flexibility, adopting a hybrid approach to agile working and offer a wide range of benefits including a generous pension scheme, life assurance, private health care and a flexi-benefits package allowing you to choose benefits that are truly valuable to you, including the opportunity to buy and sell holiday.
