Shape London’s Skyline — Join a Leading Planning Consultancy Delivering High-Profile Residential & Commercial Projects
Central London | Town Planner | Career-Defining Opportunity
Have you recently completed a Masters in Town Planning and gained 18+ months of experience through work, a placement, or internship? Looking for the right platform to build your career on major, high-impact projects in London’s vibrant residential and commercial sectors?
This is your chance to join one of Central London’s most respected boutique planning consultancies, where you’ll get stuck into a wide range of headline developments—from sleek new-build apartment schemes to flagship mixed-use commercial landmarks in the heart of the capital.
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Live & Work Central London Projects: Step into some of the most exciting residential and commercial projects happening right now.
* Big-Name Clients & Boutique Specialists: Work with everything from leading PLC developers to niche design-led firms.
* Mentorship & Rapid Career Progression: Learn from successful, hands-on Directors who invest in their team.
* Unmatched Culture: Regular socials, team trips, performance bonuses, and a people-first attitude.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Leading and supporting planning applications for major residential and commercial schemes across Central London.
* Managing the full planning process: from site appraisals to pre-apps, stakeholder engagement, and final submission.
* Preparing and reviewing planning statements, policy reviews, and design and access statements.
* Building strong, long-term client relationships through clear, expert advice and regular communication.
What We’re Looking For:
* 18 months of experience minimum in a planning consultancy, local authority of client side.
* Experience assisting or leading on the planning application process of major projects ie. 50 units or larger.
* Strong understanding of development management.
* Working toward your RTPI APC is a plus—but not essential.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a team-focused approach.
What’s On Offer:
* Competitive base salary + discretionary bonus scheme
* Ongoing CPD & full RTPI support
* High-quality, impactful projects you’ll be proud to work on
* A dynamic, energetic team where success is shared and celebrated
* A culture that rewards talent—not time spent at a desk
Ready to Be Part of London’s Planning Future?
