Recruitment Consultant, Residential Development & Town Planning

About the Role

Ready to accelerate your impact on city-shaping projects and see your work influence planning decisions across London and beyond? Step into a partner-led environment where your viability expertise is visible, valued, and fast-tracked.

 

Join a team where you can lead and deliver financial viability advice on residential-led, mixed-use developments, from pre-app stage through to S106 and review mechanisms. You'll work closely with planners and senior stakeholders, gain exposure to major public and private clients, and build profile across a collaborative, high-growth practice. Expect autonomy, genuine mentorship, and the chance to shape how places are planned, funded, and brought to life.

 

This independent, partner-led consultancy is known for planning, development and valuation expertise, with a culture that encourages honest thinking, diversity of perspectives and collective success. The Advisory department brings together 130+ specialists, blending valuation with strategy to unlock value for clients across the UK.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and contribute to Financial Viability Assessments for residential-led, mixed-use schemes, including negotiation with local authorities/GLA and input into S106 and review mechanisms.
  • Build and run development appraisals and Red Book valuation outputs; produce clear, concise client advice.
  • Collaborate with planners and cross-firm specialists; represent the team at client meetings and help develop juniors while supporting bids and BD activity.

 

Essential Requirements:

  • RICS qualified and RICS Registered Valuer, with strong development valuation foundations.
  • Demonstrable experience delivering viability work on residential-led projects, including negotiations with public sector stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with Argus Developer and development appraisals (and motivation to become an expert user).

 

Interested but not 100% sure you tick every box? Let's talk. Send what your CV to me (Adaora) and we can set up a call. If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
