  • Excellent project management and report writing skills.
  • Deep understanding of planning legislation across England and Wales.


Also offered is an exceptional benefits package which includes;

  • Growth bonus, enhanced pension, and death in service cover
  • Private medical insurance and BUPA Cash Plan
  • Hybrid work, extra annual leave, and loyalty leave (up to 5 days)
