Job Description

Senior Town Planner - Altrincham £45,000-£55,000 DOE + Bonus + BenefitsAltrincham Hybrid Working Planning Consultancy

Are you an experienced Town Planner looking to step into a role with real autonomy, variety, and the chance to work on exciting and meaningful projects across the North West and beyond?

I'm working exclusively with a well-regarded, independent planning consultancy based in Altrincham that's known for its collaborative ethos, strategic thinking, and strong client relationships. Due to sustained growth and a healthy project pipeline, they're now looking to appoint a Senior Town Planner to join their close-knit, high-performing team.

What's in it for you?
  • Diverse Projects - You'll be working on a mix of residential, commercial, leisure and mixed-use schemes ranging from small bespoke developments to large strategic sites.

  • Genuine Progression - Whether you're looking to step into a more strategic role or become a future leader, the pathway is there.

  • Flexible Working - A hybrid working model that supports work-life balance while still fostering strong team collaboration.

  • Supportive Environment - You'll join a sociable and professional team that values integrity, quality, and creativity.

About You:
  • MRTPI qualified (or very close to chartership)

  • A strong background in consultancy or local authority, with experience managing planning applications and providing sound planning advice

  • Able to build rapport with clients, consultants, and local authorities

  • Enjoy working collaboratively but confident taking ownership of your projects

Why now?

The consultancy has carved out a reputation for delivering high-quality planning advice with a personal touch. They're not a corporate giant - and that's a good thing. You'll have a voice, real responsibility, and the opportunity to shape your career in a business that values its people.

This is an excellent move for someone who wants more than just another planning job. If you're ready to bring your expertise to a progressive, respected planning consultancy, I'd love to speak with you.
