We’re working with a highly regarded planning and development consultancy on an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Planner / Planner to join their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who combines planning expertise with strong commercial awareness and is looking to take the next step in their career within the property and development sector.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Ideal Candidate
Ideally, you’ll bring:
- Experience in planning, property or development, ideally within a consultancy or commercially focused environment.
- Experience working on retail and/or office-led projects.
- A solid understanding of the planning and development process.
- Strong commercial awareness and an interest in property, development and investment.
- Excellent communication, client management and stakeholder engagement skills.

What Makes This Role Stand Out?
The real attraction is the chance to move beyond purely technical planning and play a meaningful role in commercially driven development advice.
You’ll have the opportunity to help clients understand what can be developed, how value can be maximised and what is realistically deliverable, giving you exposure to the strategic and commercial decisions that shape major property projects.
If you’re ambitious, commercially minded and looking to build a career at the intersection of planning, property and development, this could be an excellent next move.
If this sounds relevant to your background, please send across your application with an updated CV.
