Graduate Town Planner – Kent – Award-Winning Residential Developer

Are you a recent graduate in Town Planning or a related discipline looking to kickstart your career in the private sector? I’m working exclusively with a well-established, design-led residential developer based in Kent that’s looking to bring on board an ambitious and passionate Graduate Town Planner to support their growing planning team.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work client-side, gaining exposure to high-quality housing developments from concept to completion. You’ll be mentored by experienced planning professionals and be actively involved in preparing and managing planning applications, liaising with local authorities and consultants, and contributing to long-term land and development strategies.

What’s on offer:

• A rare chance to join a respected private housebuilder with a strong pipeline of projects across the South East

• Mentoring and support towards your RTPI accreditation

• Real responsibility and involvement in live planning projects from day one

• A collaborative, forward-thinking team with a genuine passion for quality housing and placemaking

• Competitive starting salary, benefits, and excellent career progression opportunities

What they’re looking for:

• A degree (or Master’s) in Town Planning or a closely related field

• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with strong written and verbal communication skills

• An interest in residential development and private sector planning

• A team player with a willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment

• Ideally, some work experience (internships or placements) in planning, but not essential

This is a brilliant first step for someone eager to work in a commercially driven, design-conscious environment where you can grow your planning career in a hands-on role.
