Job description

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Planner to join a small, busy and growing planning consultancy in Galway.

This role is ideal for someone with 3+ years’ relevant planning experience in Ireland who is ready for greater project ownership, direct client exposure and the opportunity to broaden their experience across a diverse range of planning work.

Working as part of a close-knit team, you’ll manage projects from initial client discussions through to planning submission and determination, with direct exposure to clients, planning authorities, public bodies and multidisciplinary project teams. Irish planning experience: Essential

You will be involved in:

• Managing planning applications and projects from instruction through to completion
• Preparing Planning Statements, reports, submissions and supporting documentation
• Liaising directly with clients, planning authorities, An Coimisiún Pleanála and other public bodies
• Coordinating architects, engineers and specialist consultants
• Preparing responses to Further Information and Clarification requests
• Assisting with planning appeals, observations, Section 5 matters and zoning submissions
• Advising clients on Irish planning policy, legislation and development plans

You will have:

• 3+ years’ relevant professional planning experience
• Strong practical experience of the Irish planning system – essential

• Strong report-writing and communication skills
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and planning authorities

This is particularly suited to an ambitious planner who wants more than a narrowly defined role in a large organisation.

You’ll gain real project ownership, significant client exposure and involvement across the full planning process, while working closely with an experienced and supportive team.

If you’re looking for a role where you can take on greater responsibility, broaden your planning experience and grow with a smaller team, we’d be very interested in hearing from you.
