About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to progress your career within a vibrant and progressive consultancy. We are looking for a Senior Planner based in the south east to work across various projects, including major residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes. We have an outstanding reputation for providing the highest standards of service to high profile clients, including major land owners, respected property developers, multi-sector housebuilders and commercial and industrial developers. We are passionate about the places we help to shape.
Our projects are wide ranging. Recently we secured planning permission for an expansion of the world-renowned Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire; it is an exciting time to join our team.
Being a Senior Planner at Turley has given me the independence to drive projects forward, taking on a client-facing, leading role in project teams whilst being supported by a brilliant team of co-owners across the UK and across different services. This knowledge sharing and connecting across the company is part of what makes Turley such a great place to work, learn and grow in your specialism.
