Senior Town Planner I'm working with a small but ambitious consultancy in Wiltshire who are looking to bring a Senior Town Planner into their team. This is an opportunity where you will genuinely see the impact of your work and have a direct say in how projects and the business move forward. You will be working on large-scale residential developments, supporting major housing schemes from strategy right through to delivery. You'll be trusted to manage your own workload, take ownership of applications, and build strong client relationships. Because this is a small consultancy, you will not be a cog in a machine you'll be a key part of the team. You will have the flexibility to structure your week in a way that works for you, whether that's from home, in the office, or on site. In this role, you will: Lead on significant housing development projects. Prepare and manage complex planning applications. Advise clients and liaise with local authorities. Contribute to shaping the growth of a consultancy with big ambitions. What you'll get in return: A competitive salary, dependent on your experience. Flexible working arrangements. The chance to play a central role in the delivery of some of the most important housing projects in the South West. If you're ready to take the next step in your planning career and want to be part of a consultancy where you'll truly be valued, I'd love to speak with you.
