We negotiate planning permissions for everything from major urban regeneration schemes to modest domestic extensions. Our department consists of planners skilled in assembling evidence and building a case to achieve planning permission from local authorities, planning inspectors and government ministers.

**Key Responsibilities**

**How you’ll make an impact**

Good communication and organisational skills and a proactive approach are vital to succeed as a Planning Graduate.

Your skills will include:

- Strong verbal, numerical and report writing skills
- Ability to empower those around them
- A team player with leadership potential
- Ability to challenge in a positive way
- Strategic approach to problem solving
- Ability to Listen to others and Collaborate effectively

Experiencing a variety of teams and working styles is fundamental to developing your understanding of Savills, the market and our clients.

As a graduate, you'll also have regular opportunities to attend technical, business skills and personal development activities - including conferences, courses, lectures, networking, revision sessions and social events.

**Career development**

Once you've successfully passed your APC and become a member of the Royal Institution of Town Planners (RTPI), you'll continue to receive training and career development opportunities. We ensure that your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is current and that all staff are fully up-to-date with changes to legislation and business needs.
