Professionals with three or more years' experience in town planning - whether from local authority, consultancy, or developer backgrounds are encouraged to apply. More junior applicants may also be considered at a lower grade.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage planning applications for renewable energy developments, with a focus on solar and battery projects.

  • Liaise with local authorities, community groups, consultants, and multidisciplinary teams across environmental, legal, and engineering disciplines.

  • Support business development by identifying opportunities and contributing to proposal development.

About you

  • Degree (or equivalent) in Town Planning, Urban Planning, or a related field.
  • Chartered RTPI membership or eligibility.
  • Minimum three years' experience in planning (local authority, consultancy, or developer).
  • Strong understanding of UK planning regulations and procedures.
  • Experience in renewable energy, grid infrastructure, or major developments is desirable, but adjacent sectors are also suitable.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines, with strong analytical and report-writing capability.
  • Proactive, solution-focused mindset and ability to work independently or collaboratively.
  • Candidates will need a full UK driving licence and access to a car.

You'll thrive in a fast-growing environment and bring a values-led, ambitious approach to your work. The company is scaling rapidly with a strong pipeline of energy projects, and they're looking for someone who shares their drive for impact and high performance.
