Job description

Senior Town Planner
Are you an experienced Senior Town Planner looking for a role where your expertise will make a real impact? Our client, a leading private planning consultancy in Nottinghamshire, delivers high-quality solutions across residential, educational, and infrastructure projects. With a focus on shaping sustainable communities, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team and contribute to projects that truly matter.
In this role, you'll take the lead on planning projects from start to finish, offering strategic advice on planning policies, preparing and submitting applications, and supporting clients through appeals and feasibility studies. Working closely with clients, local authorities, and stakeholders, you'll help ensure projects are delivered efficiently, compliantly, and to the highest standards. Collaboration is key here, whether that's working alongside architects, engineers, or mentoring junior colleagues to help them grow and develop their skills.
We're looking for someone with a strong planning background, ideally with experience in a consultancy environment. A degree in Town Planning or a related discipline and Chartered RTPI status are essential, alongside proven knowledge of UK planning legislation, policies, and procedures. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are a must, and being able to work independently as well as part of a team will help you thrive in this role. Proficiency in relevant planning software is also highly desirable.
This consultancy offers a competitive salary that reflects your experience, along with benefits including a pension scheme, health insurance, and generous annual leave. The role comes with hybrid working options, allowing you to split your time between the office and remote working. On top of this, there are excellent professional development opportunities and a supportive, inclusive environment where your contribution will be valued.
This is a unique opportunity for a Senior Town Planner who wants to take ownership of impactful projects and make a meaningful contribution to the growth and success of a respected consultancy. You'll be joining a team that values innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, and you'll have the chance to help shape communities for the future.
