Town Planner in Birmingham, West Midlands

Fancy working somewhere that gives you the backing of a multidisciplinary consultancy, without feeling like a small cog in a huge machine?

This is an opportunity to join a growing planning-led consultancy where planners are at the centre of projects, working alongside in-house specialists across ecology, heritage, landscape, architecture and environmental disciplines.

You'll have the chance to work on a varied portfolio of residential, commercial, infrastructure and environmental projects while taking ownership of your own clients and developments. We are looking for a Senior Planner, either chartered, or working towards chartership, with a couple of years in industry.

• Manage planning applications, appeals and pre-application enquiries
• Undertake planning appraisals and site assessments
• Prepare planning statements, reports and strategic planning advice
• Liaise with local authorities, consultees and project teams
• Manage client relationships and support project delivery
• Mentor junior planners and contribute to team development
• Support fee proposals and new business opportunities

• MRTPI qualified or working towards chartership
• Experience within either consultancy or local authority planning
• Strong understanding of the UK planning system
• Excellent communication and report writing skills
• Commercially aware with strong stakeholder management skills

• Hybrid and flexible working
• Genuine progression opportunities
• Protected CPD and professional membership support
• Exposure to a wide range of planning projects and sectors
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary working environment
• Private medical insurance following probation

This is an excellent opportunity for a Planner looking to step up, or an established Senior Planner seeking greater project ownership, broader sector exposure and a clear pathway for career progression.
