Senior Planner – North West | Dynamic Planning Consultancy

Looking to step into a Senior Planner role where you’ll have real influence, client exposure, and a clear route to progression? We’re partnering with a highly respected planning consultancy in the North West that’s continuing to grow its presence across the region.

From a recruiter’s standpoint, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Planner ready to take on more responsibility within a collaborative and commercially savvy team. The firm has a strong pipeline of work across residential, mixed-use, and strategic land projects, offering both variety and long-term career stability.

The Role
As a Senior Planner, you’ll take a leading role in managing projects and supporting junior team members, with responsibilities including:

  • Leading on planning applications, appeals, and site promotions
  • Managing client relationships and acting as a key point of contact
  • Providing strategic planning advice across a diverse project portfolio
  • Mentoring and supporting junior planners
  • Engaging with local authorities and key stakeholders
  • Contributing to business development and winning new work

About You
We’re interested in candidates who:

  • Have solid experience within a planning consultancy or local authority
  • Are MRTPI qualified (or very close to achieving it)
  • Demonstrate strong project management and organisational skills
  • Are confident in client-facing situations
  • Have a proactive, commercially aware mindset

Why Consider This Role?
This consultancy offers more than just a job — it’s a platform for progression. You’ll be joining a team that values initiative, supports professional growth, and offers genuine autonomy. Benefits include:

  • A clear pathway to Associate level and beyond
  • A strong and varied project pipeline
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • A supportive, team-oriented culture

If you’re ready to take the next step in your planning career within a thriving North West consultancy, I’d be keen to speak with you in confidence.
