The Role & The Work Join a L500 ranked Planning team known for delivering complex, high-value work across energy, transport and infrastructure. You will advise on projects that don’t just make headlines but actively contribute to the UK’s journey to net zero and beyond.
From major infrastructure developments and transport projects to cutting-edge energy transition work, including offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture, you will advise across the full lifecycle of projects.

You will be front-facing with clients, involved in strategic decision-making and encouraged to develop your own relationships from an early stage. The team operates as one across jurisdictions, giving you exposure to cross-border work and international collaboration as standard.
