The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

Experience working within multi-disciplinary teams (project management exposure desirable)

Experience from either the private sector or a local authority background

RTPI membership or progress toward chartership

Please note:

this role requires a significant in-office presence at the London office. While some flexibility exists, applicants seeking predominantly hybrid or remote working are unlikely to be suitable.

This Town Planner role offers the opportunity to work within a respected consultancy environment, with exposure to quality projects, strong peer support, and clear opportunities for professional progression.
