About the Role
This is your chance to take on a pivotal role in a respected and growing planning consultancy. As a Principal to Associate Planner, you'll work independently across a wide range of planning projects, delivering insightful, tailored advice and building lasting client relationships. You'll also play a key part in driving new business, positioning yourself as a trusted expert in the field.
Perfect for someone who thrives in a strategic, autonomous environment and is looking to elevate their career with high-impact work and leadership opportunities in supporting and mentoring junior colleagues.
What You'll Be Doing
* Deliver expert planning advice across a range of development types
* Manage end-to-end planning applications, appeals, and site promotions
* Represent clients at committees, hearings, and public inquiries
* Oversee project teams and coordinate input from specialist consultants
* Lead client communications and maintain strong long-term relationships
* Contribute to business development-winning new work for yourself and others
* Support internal initiatives and mentor junior team members
Your Expertise
* Chartered Member of the RTPI.
* Extensive, diverse planning experience (private sector background essential).
* Deep understanding of planning policy and development processes.
* Skilled in preparing and managing all forms of planning applications, appeals, and policy representations.
* Strong project leadership and communication skills.
* Commercial awareness and self-motivation.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Autonomy to shape your career and lead meaningful projects
* You'll enjoy a people-first, supportive working environment that values your input and ideas.
* A supportive culture that values growth, quality, and innovation
If you're looking for a Principal to Associate planning role with impact, autonomy, and the scope to lead - this is the perfect opportunity.
