Associate Planner

I'm working with a planning consultancy in York who are looking for an Associate Planner to join their team. Sitting between the Senior Planners and the Head of Planning, you will be stepping into a pivotal role with clear progression opportunities.

You will be working in the private sector, ideally bringing recent experience of leading projects and working directly with clients. You will be a Chartered Town Planner, ready to take the next step and play a central part in shaping the consultancy's future growth.

You will be given responsibility for managing a varied workload, with the bulk of current projects focused on large-scale data centres. At the same time, you will be helping to broaden the client base and bring in work across other sectors, making this a role where you can leave a real mark.

You will be joining a planning team of 6, within a wider consultancy of 21. The team structure includes 3 Planners, 2 Seniors, and a Head of Planning and you will be the crucial bridge between them, supporting juniors while working closely with the Head to deliver complex projects.

You will enjoy genuine flexibility. The team works a 37.5-hour week, but you can structure your hours to suit yourself, your clients, and your team. The only fixed days in the office are Mondays and Thursdays - the rest of the week is yours to design.

In return, you will receive a salary of £50,000-£65,000, depending on your experience, and the chance to carve out a senior role in a consultancy where your input matters.
