They are known for their commitment to honesty and integrity, serving a wide range of clients, from major PLC developers to boutique firms, and covering various sectors, all across the UK.

Upon joining, you'll be thrust into a dynamic work environment with a substantial workload, providing you with the chance to excel.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Assisting with projects and overseeing smaller development management processes, and assisting senior colleagues on more major developments.

• Managing pre-application tasks and guiding planning applications through the development cycle.
• Writing representations to local authorities for potential site promotions.

Ideally, you should possess:

• Excellent written communication skills and strong interpersonal abilities.

In return for your dedication, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits package, ongoing training, and the opportunity to be part of an exceptional team and company that fosters career progression. Here, the focus is on the quality of your work output rather than strict working hours.
