Job description

About the Role

This is your chance to take on a pivotal role in a respected and growing planning consultancy. As a Principal to Associate Planner, you'll work independently across a wide range of planning projects, delivering insightful, tailored advice and building lasting client relationships. You'll also play a key part in driving new business, positioning yourself as a trusted expert in the field.

Perfect for someone who thrives in a strategic, autonomous environment and is looking to elevate their career with high-impact work and leadership opportunities in supporting and mentoring junior colleagues.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Deliver expert planning advice across a range of development types
  • Manage end-to-end planning applications, appeals, and site promotions
  • Represent clients at committees, hearings, and public inquiries
  • Oversee project teams and coordinate input from specialist consultants
  • Lead client communications and maintain strong long-term relationships
  • Contribute to business development-winning new work for yourself and others
  • Support internal initiatives and mentor junior team members

Your Expertise

  • Chartered Member of the RTPI.
  • Extensive, diverse planning experience (private sector background essential).
  • Deep understanding of planning policy and development processes.
  • Skilled in preparing and managing all forms of planning applications, appeals, and policy representations.
  • Strong project leadership and communication skills.
  • Commercial awareness and self-motivation.

    • Why This Role Stands Out

  • Autonomy to shape your career and lead meaningful projects
  • You'll enjoy a people-first, supportive working environment that values your input and ideas.
  • A supportive culture that values growth, quality, and innovation

    • If you're looking for a Principal to Associate planning role with impact, autonomy, and the scope to lead - this is the perfect opportunity.

    When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position via .
