Job Details

Ambitious Town Planners with proven track record looking for progression alongside the option of a better work-life balance are required for a consultancy in the Cotswolds.

 

My client is seeking an experienced Town Planning professional with at least 5 years' experience to join their growing consultancy at Senior/Principal Planner or Associate Director level, delivering planning services and assisting in the development of new business. (If you are more senior than this, we also require a Planning Director so call anyway!).

 

Very much a 21st century business, this consultancy have embraced flexible working practices, allowing their professional staff the trust and freedom to complete some of their working hours remotely and manage their time in balance with home life. So if you live anywhere in the vicinity of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, the South Midlands or North/South Wales then this opportunity could suit you as your geographical location does not need to be as close to the office as you might think... call me to find out more! Equally, if you are looking to relocate to the beautiful Cotswolds in order to take advantage of the scenic rolling hills and picture perfect village pubs then it is worth knowing that my client is willing to offer a RELOCATION PACKAGE for a suitably experienced candidate.

 

My client is a medium-sized multi-disciplinary practice with expertise in Town Planning, Chartered Surveying and Urban Design. Their work focuses heavily on quasi-residential projects spanning from 2-300 units alongside a growing commercial client base and Local Plan promotion for much larger development sites. Other projects are diverse in both type and scale with key sectors being strategic land, sport and leisure and education although your experience in other areas will be equally desirable.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and tenacious Town Planning professional to become an important member of a small but growing multidisciplinary team.

 

Key requirements include:

  • relevant Town Planning (or equivalent) Masters level degree;
  • 5+ years' experience;
  • MRTPI or MRICS chartered status (or very close to achieving it);
  • either strong client facing skills developed in the private sector or strong DM skills and a commercial awareness built from experience in the public sector;
  • excellent communication, project and people management skills;
  • effective client liaison and ideally an active client base (although this is a bonus rather than essential)
  • ambition, dynamism and an eagerness to shine and progress to the very top.

 

In return our client is offering a very generous salary package where the base salary will be commensurate with experience plus generous bonuses tailored to the individual. The attractive package also includes 25 days annual leave (+ 1 day for your birthday when it falls on a week day) plus bank holidays, travel/mileage, private healthcare, fully funded CPD, professional membership fees and gym membership contribution, company laptop and phone.

 

In addition, they will offer flexible working arrangements where required, are genuinely family-friendly and would consider a relocation package for candidates looking to make a permanent move to the Gloucestershire area.

 

For further information and to have a confidential discussion please call Claire on 07983 143 831 | 020 7859 4246, or apply by sending your CV (with contact number) to claire@lewisdavey.com.

If this role is too senior, too junior, or too far for you to travel but you are looking for your next role in Town Planning, please still call us - we are keen to discuss other opportunities with you.
