Job Details



Penguin Recruitment is delighted to be supporting a national Planning & Development Consultancy on the hire of an Associate Director to assist in its' continued growth and to lead on providing advice to major clients (particularly house builders, retailers and developers).

The company works within all sectors of the development industry (public and private) to assist them in formulating and implementing development schemes. Our client will provide a great environment for you to further establish your career working on a wide range of projects and supported by structured programmes to help you reach your career ambitions.

Working with a Senior Director, you will be working on a number of projects and must have a very high level of technical competence and demonstrate the ability to manage your own time and workload.

You will be expected to have a good standard of written and spoken English, with good analytical and interpersonal skills and will normally undertake the following areas of work:

  • planning strategies;
  • planning applications and appeals
  • development plan representations; and
  • providing advice and guidance to clients throughout all stages of the planning process.


You are likely to have around 6-8 years' experience, maybe more, and have recently taken a key role on medium/large scale planning applications, for a variety of schemes. Experience of promoting strategic allocations and large scale City Centre regeneration schemes would be beneficial.

You will be commercially minded, have market credibility and show a proven ability to win new work and clients and nurture existing client relationships to win repeat business.

We will expect all candidates to have chartered membership of the RTPI, an RTPI accredited town planning qualification at Masters level (A RICS accredited qualification (planning & development route) would also be acceptable), at least a 2:1 or equivalent at first degree level.

Candidates must demonstrate a very high level of technical competency and quality of work, carried out with minimal supervision, together with good analytical, communication, interpersonal and writing skills. The role will require working on a number of projects, so a proven ability to manage your own time and workload within tight timescales and an ability to solve problems creatively is critical. You will also have market credibility, ideally with a proven ability to win new work and clients and nurture existing client relationships to win repeat business.
