Job description

Overview

LOCATION - MANCHESTER / LEEDS / BIRMINGHAM / BRISTOL or MILTON KEYNES

We have an exciting opportunity for a Planner to join our vibrant and dedicated planning team, with the opportunity to work flexibly with our agile working approach.

We would like to hear from anybody who is passionate about being a planner and who would relish being able to develop their own client base and work on projects across a range of sectors from retail and residential to education and energy.

You will be joining a market-leading, multi-national company at a hugely exciting time following our recent rebrand as part of the Tetra Tech Planning family. You will have opportunities to work across our multidisciplinary teams and gain invaluable experience with active mentoring and support to further your career.

Your Role

We work on behalf of both public and private sector clients, and we are proud of our diverse range of projects providing you with fantastic opportunities to broaden your horizons and develop your skillset across planning. We provide advice across the entire spectrum of development schemes, from initial feasibility studies, site visits, through to the submission of large-scale planning applications and appeals. We have strong local and national networks and a collaborative team culture. This will see you working closely with colleagues across our northern team, with opportunities to work with any office across the country. This, combined with the quality of service we provide to our clients, is what makes us consistently one of the top planning consultancies in the UK.

Working across the team’s diverse project base, you will be responsible for preparing site appraisals, development plan representations, submitting planning (and other) applications and appeals and advising clients generally. As a commercially minded individual you will be supported in developing your own client base and taking the lead on projects with budgetary accountability.

Tetra Tech is a multidisciplinary organisation, and you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with multi-skilled teams on larger proposals.

Requirements

We are looking for a RTPI accredited Town Planner with proven experience in a similar role or looking to step up. You may be presently working in a local authority, consultancy or for a developer or housebuilder. You will be capable of managing a varied workload and be confident taking on the responsibility for the day-to-day management of concurrently running projects. To be successful in the role you will have the following key skills and experience:

• ability to deliver reliable technical input in a timely and efficient way;
• a team player with good people skills, who will thrive dealing directly with our clients;
• be able to demonstrate enthusiasm, energy and the ability to work under your own initiative to meet our client’s expectations and help expand our business;
• have excellent communication skills, allowing you to work effectively with multi-skilled teams internally and externally; and
• above all, you will have a “can-do” and positive approach to your career.

Our way of working

We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together—in offices or on site—to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work.

There is no "one approach fits all" – each team manages their own way of working, we trust our employees and focus on outputs not inputs. Meeting up with colleagues and clients face to face in office environments or on site is important for collaboration, face-to-face meetings, appraisals and development.

Inclusion

At Tetra Tech, we want everyone to feel like they truly belong. Our goal is to create a workplace where every person is valued and respected for who they are.

Everyone is welcome at Tetra Tech. Opportunities and success should only be determined by attitude, capability and collaborative spirit. Be yourself, without apology.
