About the Role

Senior Town Planner in London ready for a new challenge?

You could advance your career with greater exposure to the regions where the development market is thriving.

As a Senior Planner, you could consult on a wider breadth of projects across the residential and commercial sector; from mixed use urban regeneration schemes in London to strategic urban extensions and commercial projects across the UK.

In this role, you could advise an enviable roster of clients nationwide and foster a lucrative book of clients as you progress towards a leadership position.

Our client has a well-established team of 30+ Planners in London that work alongside a multi-disciplinary team on a flexible basis from a new office!

A competitive compensation package is available, including a discretionary performance related bonus and generous benefits. Employees also enjoy regular local and company-wide socials, sports and charity events.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Managing major projects and overseeing smaller development management processes, and assisting senior colleagues on more major developments.
  • Cultivating and maintaining client relationships by offering precise advice and effective communication on a regular basis.
  • Managing pre-application tasks and guiding planning applications through the development cycle.
  • Writing representations to local authorities for potential site promotions.

Ideally, you should possess:

  • Minimum 4 years of professional planning experience within consultancy, developer or local planning authority (LPA).
  • A strong skill set and expertise in development management.
  • MRTPI
  • Excellent written communication skills and strong interpersonal abilities.

In return for your dedication, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits package, ongoing training, and the opportunity to be part of an exceptional team and company that fosters career progression. Here, the focus is on the quality of your work output rather than strict working hours.

Please apply here or give me Tom a call to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.

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.

When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position via tturner@cobaltrecruitment.com
