I am working with one of the residential developers who is looking to strengthen the team with a planning manager for their south west office in bristol.
You will report directly to the group planning director but work autonomously on managing existing planning applications through outlined and detailed consents.
You will be an experienced town planner who has experience of managing and running planning applications for house builders and strategic land.
You will ideally be 5 years + post-graduation and be looking for the next step in your career or you will be working in planning consultancy and looking to make the move to the client side.
