Senior Town Planner (Renewables), Manchester
£40,000 - £50,000 per annum + negotiable, benefits, bonus

Are you looking for that new challenge or the opportunity to accelerate your career in a collaborative team, with great exposure to a very healthy pipeline of renewable projects? I am working closely with a well-established national consultancy in Manchester, looking for someone to join as a Senior Planner.

This close-knit team have delivered on a variety of flagship projects across the country with a reputation for maintaining standards of excellence.

You could add a few strings to your bow by also consulting on projects in the residential, commercial and industrial sector with a friendly team, operating on a very flexible basis.

You will be involved in (among other responsibilities):

  • Managing projects, assisting in delegating and starting to take on leadership role

  • Continuing to maintain relationships with clients in providing accurate advice and communicating effectively

  • Dealing with pre-apps and manage planning applications through the development process

  • Communicating and negotiating with clients, stakeholders and local regularly

  • Business development and working up your own client base, or bringing your own

  • Attending meetings for Planning Committee, Consultations and similar events in representation of both the Company and clients through the planning process

  • Mentoring and helping to manage junior team members

You will ideally:

  • Have at least 3 years within planning - ideally in consultancy

  • Strong development management skillset and expertise

  • Be MRTPI or equivalent

  • Be a strong communicator with excellent written work

In reward for the hard work, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as ongoing training and being part of an excellent team and company to progress you in your career - where hours you work are not as important as the quality of output in what you do!​

Please apply here or give me (Tom) a call to discuss on (07897 074 637). 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.
