Senior Planner / Senior Planning Officer

Tarson

£42,000 – £55,000 (guide) London Full time, Permanent Open until filled

About the opportunity

Our client is always keen to hear from talented Senior Planners and Senior Planning Officers. Its London planning team, based in W1G, works on some of the more substantial development projects in the capital, and there's no closing date. If you'd like to see where you could fit, we'd be happy to talk.

The consultancy

The planning team sits within a global commercial real estate adviser. That means planning advice is closely tied to wider property and development thinking, and the team acts for investors, developers and occupiers. Work spans major mixed-use, commercial, residential and regeneration schemes.

What you will be doing

  • Managing planning applications from early strategy through to determination
  • Shaping development strategy on complex, multi-disciplinary schemes
  • Contributing to appeals and preparing evidence
  • Giving clear planning advice to investors, developers and occupiers
  • Working alongside colleagues from across the wider business
  • Supporting and guiding more junior planners as your experience grows

About you

  • Several years of experience in private sector or local authority planning, with a solid record on significant schemes
  • A degree in planning or a related subject; RTPI membership or progress towards it is welcome
  • Sound knowledge of London planning policy and the development management process
  • Confident writing and communication, in front of clients as well as on paper
  • Commercial awareness and a practical approach to getting schemes consented

Salary guide: £42,000 – £55,000, depending on experience.
