Job Details

An outstanding new opportunity has come to the market for Town Planning professionals with 4 or more years’ experience to work for a Southampton-based consultancy with a high-end client base and a meticulous reputation.

 

Typical developments include major housing schemes for volume housebuilders including new settlements, schools and universities, significant new sports and leisure facilities, planning for new hotels and waterfront developments and much more.

 

At least 70% of their work comes from repeat clients and their reputation precedes them so they always have more than enough work, hence the need to expand their team with the addition of at least 2 qualified and experienced planners. You will be client-facing so must be confident in your ability to build solid and lasting relationships. Whilst developing new business is not a requirement of the role, if it is something that interests you then there is every opportunity to do so and with new jobs regularly coming in over the phone, you will pick up new clients through reputation alone.

 

To be considered for a position with this company, you should:

  • Be MRTPI qualified;
  • Have at least 4 years PQE;
  • Be ambitious and hungry to work on some of the best schemes in the south of England;
  • Be a self-starter, able to pick up tasks and projects as required, working with a high degree of independence whilst also being a strong team player;
  • Have gained good quality experience in the private or public sectors;
  • Be full of enthusiasm and determination to work hard and further your career.

 

In return, this company can offer a friendly working environment in attractive, spacious offices in central Southampton. They work on a trust basis so some flexibility around working patterns and the ability to work from home at times is a genuine option.

They also offer a relaxed administrative environment where you can be self-sufficient and work the way you work best rather than being process driven and micro-managed.

 

The salary on offer is generous and naturally commensurate with experience. Seniors to Associates can expect to earn a basic in the region of £30 - £50k, and bonuses are paid annually to all staff typically at 10-15% of salary.

 

So, if you are full of energy and enthusiasm and are ready for a change then please get in touch for a confidential discussion about this exciting consultancy opportunity. My client is keen to interview candidates straight away and the initial meeting will be relaxed and informal.

 

If this role appeals and you would like to know more then please contact Claire Lewis on 07983 143 831 / 020 7859 4246 or send your CV in confidence to claire@lewisdavey.com (please include a phone number).

All conversations will be on a strictly confidential basis and you can rest assured that your CV will never leave our sight without your express permission.
