Senior Planning Engineer

Location: Cardiff (Hybrid)
Salary: £70-90,000 + package

A dynamic and growing project consultancy based in Cardiff is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Planner to join their expanding team. This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with key clients, providing expert planning support across a diverse portfolio of projects.

The successful candidate will be involved in the planning and delivery of a wide range of complex schemes across multiple sectors including new build construction, renewables, infrastructure, and other major projects. Working in a client-facing capacity, you will provide strategic planning expertise, develop and manage project programmes, and support project teams to ensure successful delivery from early planning stages through to completion.

If you are an experienced Senior Planner looking to take the next step in your career within a forward-thinking consultancy environment, we would be keen to hear from you.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
