Are you an experienced Town Planner looking to take the next step in your career with a market-leading consultancy? We're working with a highly respected national property and planning firm to recruit a Senior Town Planner for their thriving Cardiff office.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a multi-disciplinary team that delivers some of the UK's most high-profile and complex planning projects - from major mixed-use developments to strategic regeneration and infrastructure schemes. You'll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking environment that encourages professional growth and values high-quality planning advice.



The Role

You'll play a key role in delivering successful outcomes for a diverse client base, including developers, landowners, local authorities, and institutional investors. You'll manage your own caseload of projects, support senior colleagues on large-scale applications, and contribute to business development activities.

Key responsibilities:

  • Preparing, submitting, and managing planning applications and appeals.

  • Undertaking site appraisals and planning policy analysis.

  • Providing strategic planning advice to clients across residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes.

  • Engaging with local authorities, stakeholders, and design teams.

  • Supporting and mentoring junior planners.



About You

You'll be MRTPI qualified (or working towards it) with a proven track record in consultancy or local authority planning. You'll bring excellent project management, communication, and analytical skills, along with a genuine enthusiasm for shaping sustainable and deliverable development.

Essential skills and experience:

  • MRTPI qualified (or eligible for chartership).

  • Solid understanding of the UK planning system and current policy.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Experience managing planning applications and appeals.

  • Proactive, organised, and commercially minded.



What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-related bonus.

  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.

  • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.

  • Private healthcare, pension scheme, and professional subscriptions.

  • Excellent progression opportunities within a leading, multi-disciplinary environment.

If you're looking to take on a challenging and rewarding role within one of the UK's most respected planning teams, this is the perfect opportunity to advance your career.
