Jones lands role at CBRE Manchester

Robin Jones has joined the Manchester office of planning consultancy CBRE as an assistant planner.

Jones has landed her first permanent position in the sector after a two month graduate placement with Birmingham City Council’s planning and regeneration department last year.

In that role, she gained experience of assessing pre-applications, planning applications, as well as strategic planning documents and planning committees.

She said of her experience at Birmingham: “It allowed me to work on 'live' projects and provided me with first-hand insight into the workings of the system, political aspects included.”

Jones is currently completing a master’s degree in urban and regional planning at the University of Birmingham.

She has a bachelor’s degree in geography and Hispanic studies during which she focused on urban planning and regeneration, spending a year abroad at the University of Grenada

She is proficient in Spanish, Portuguese and Welsh.
