Job description

I’m working with a leading multidisciplinary consultancy that’s growing its planning team in Cambridge, and they’s hiring two Planners or Senior Planners to join it.

The work is big. New settlements, urban extensions, strategic land and masterplans, alongside life sciences, education and logistics schemes. You’ll be working with in-house transport, engineering, environment and landscape specialists on long-running projects, the kind most regions simply don’t offer at this scale.

The role

• Preparing and managing planning applications on major residential and mixed-use schemes
• Contributing to Local Plan representations and plan-making work
• Producing appraisals, reports and planning statements
• Advising clients and keeping on top of policy changes
• Managing programmes and budgets, and building relationships with clients and local authorities
• At Senior level, running jobs independently and mentoring junior colleagues

About you

• MRTPI or working towards it
• Experience on residential-led schemes, ideally urban extensions, new settlements or strategic land
• Consultancy, local authority or developer background all considered
• Commercial or logistics experience is a bonus
• Strong report writing and confident dealing with clients and stakeholders

The package

• £40,000 to £60,000 + bonus, depending on experience
• Enhanced pension
• Private medical, income protection and life assurance
• Buy/sell holiday
• A clear route up within the team
