I'm currently recruiting for a Graduate Town Planner position with a well-established, specialist planning consultancy that works on a variety of commercial and public-facing development projects across the UK.
The company has a strong focus on retail, town-centre, restaurant, leisure, and roadside development, giving graduates the opportunity to gain exposure to a broad range of planning projects. Recent work has included town-centre restaurant reconfigurations, leisure-site re-imaging, and advertisement consent, as well as planning feasibility and development work associated with roadside sites. The role would provide excellent exposure to planning applications, site appraisals, planning histories, pre-application discussions, local authority liaison, and coordination with highways, design, and other technical consultants.
