Associate / Associate Director (Infrastructure) Town Planning

Are you looking for that new challenge or the opportunity to accelerate your career in a collaborative team, with a very healthy pipeline of renewable projects in the infrastructure sector? I am working closely with a well-established national consultancy in Manchester, looking for someone to join at Associate to Associate Director level.

With an increasing pipeline of work, although preferred you will not be required to bring business for the role and will be offered great exposure to an enviable roster of clients to further your development.

This close-knit team have delivered on flagship projects across the country with a reputation for maintaining standards of excellence.

You will be involved in (among other responsibilities):

• Leading on DCO projects, assisting in delegating and starting to take on leadership role
• Continuing to maintain relationships with clients in providing accurate advice and communicating effectively
• Dealing with pre-apps and manage planning applications through the development process
• Communicating and negotiating with clients, stakeholders and local regularly
• Business development and working up your own client base, or bringing your own
• Attending meetings for Planning Committee, Consultations and similar events in representation of both the Company and clients through the planning process

You will ideally:

• Have at least 7 years within planning - ideally in consultancy
• Strong development management skillset and expertise
• Be MRTPI or equivalent

• A track record of working within planning within the infrastructure or renewables sector.

In reward for the hard work, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as ongoing training and being part of an excellent team and company to progress you in your career - where hours you work are not as important as the quality of output in what you do!

Please apply here or give me (Tom) a call to discuss on (07897 074 637). My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.

If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
