I'm currently working with a highly regarded development and planning consultancy in Edinburgh who are looking to expand their team with the addition of a Town Planner.

The consultancy has an exciting workload across Scotland, advising developers, landowners and investors on a variety of projects, from residential developments and commercial schemes to urban regeneration and strategic land opportunities.

They're looking for someone with a genuine interest in planning who enjoys working in a client-facing environment and wants to develop their career within consultancy.

The Role:

  • Managing and assisting with planning applications and appeals.
  • Preparing planning statements, planning appraisals and supporting reports.
  • Advising clients on planning policy and development potential.
  • Undertaking site assessments and identifying planning constraints.
  • Liaising with local authorities and other project stakeholders.
  • Supporting the delivery of projects across a range of sectors.

What They're Looking For:

  • A relevant degree or postgraduate qualification in Town Planning.
  • Previous experience within planning consultancy or a local authority.
  • MRTPI qualified or working towards chartership.
  • Good understanding of the Scottish planning system would be advantageous.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Someone organised, commercially aware and keen to take ownership of their work.

What's on Offer?

  • Salary between £32,000–£42,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid and flexible working.
  • Competitive holiday allowance.
  • Pension and additional benefits.
  • Support towards professional qualifications.
  • Exposure to a varied and interesting project portfolio.
  • A supportive team with opportunities to progress.

This is a great opportunity for a planner looking to broaden their experience and join a consultancy with an established presence and plenty of exciting work ahead.

If you're based in Scotland and open to hearing about a potential move, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
