Graduate Town Planner - Strategic Land (1-2 Years' Experience)
West Midlands / Hybrid Working
Are you a graduate town planner with a passion for strategic land and a solid foundation of experience under your belt? Ready to take the next step in your planning career with a leading land promotion specialist? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected and well-established team at the forefront of UK land development.
I'm working in partnership with a prominent land promoter based in the West Midlands that's looking to strengthen its in-house planning function. With a strong pipeline of large-scale residential and mixed-use sites across the country, they're now seeking a bright, ambitious Graduate Town Planner to support the planning and promotion of strategic land opportunities.
The Role:
You'll play a key role in supporting the planning team across all stages of the development lifecycle-from site appraisal and planning research, through to local plan representations and planning applications. This is a hands-on role, offering exposure to high-value projects and the chance to make a tangible impact early in your career.
What You'll Be Doing:
Conducting site assessments, planning research and policy reviews
Supporting the preparation and submission of planning applications and appeals
Assisting with Local Plan consultations and strategic promotion work
Engaging with planning consultants, local authorities, and key stakeholders
Contributing to planning strategies for a growing national land portfolio
What We're Looking For:
A degree (and ideally a master's) in Town Planning or a related discipline
1-2 years' experience in a planning role-either consultancy, local authority or client-side
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
A keen interest in strategic land and residential development
A proactive, team-focused attitude with strong attention to detail
Why Apply?
Join a highly respected and stable land promoter with a national reputation
Enjoy hybrid working and a supportive, collaborative team environment
Be part of a business that invests in its people and promotes professional development
Work on a diverse range of exciting, long-term development opportunities
This role offers a fantastic platform for an ambitious planner looking to gain valuable experience and grow within a forward-thinking, commercially astute organisation.
