AtkinsRéalis is one of the world’s leading multi-disciplinary consultancy firms offering unparalleled opportunities for talented individuals in search of a rewarding career. At AtkinsRéalis, we offer more than just a job. We offer an opportunity to make a difference and shape the world to benefit future generations and the environment. Our UK Environment Practice is a vibrant network of people providing world-class consultancy and advisory services. We care about outcomes for our clients and the unprecedented challenges they face including climate change, social inclusion, and rapid urbanisation. The work we do is important and influential: it shapes the way our clients think, enables them to make better decisions, and to deliver their projects in a world of disruption and change. Great ideas come from great people when they collaborate, and this is our core strength.

This is an excellent career development opportunity for an experienced candidate looking to progress their career to the next level in a fast-paced and exciting industry. You will work collaboratively with a range of technical specialists on a broad range of projects, lead and coordinate Planning-related deliverables, work closely with clients, develop new areas of business, and mentor colleagues in the team.
Your Role
- Leading and managing a broad range of planning applications and associated supporting documents for a wide range of development projects.
- Providing strategic planning advice to a varied private sector client base.
- Providing advice and planning strategy from inception to final delivery.
- Managing key client relationships and acting as a trusted advisor.
- Identifying and securing new business opportunities and supporting the continued growth of the consultancy.
- Representing clients at meetings, hearings, and public consultations where required.
