Job Description
Principal Town Planner
Central Manchester (Hybrid) | Senior Appointment | Planning that Shapes Places
We're supporting a highly regarded planning consultancy-based in central Manchester-as they look to appoint a Principal Town Planner to play a pivotal role in their continued growth.
This isn't a box-ticking planning job. It's for someone who sees planning as the strategic core of a project-who wants to lead major applications, solve complex challenges, and bring forward developments that change places for the better.
The Business
This independent consultancy has been shaping residential, retail, regeneration and green belt projects across the UK for over 20 years. They don't just advise-they lead. And with a strong pipeline of work and long-standing client relationships, they're in a prime position to grow their senior team.
The Role
You'll be taking the lead on high-profile and often sensitive projects, managing everything from early strategy through to application and negotiation. You'll be client-facing, team-leading, and driving outcomes on developments that range from urban regeneration to strategic land.
There's room here to step up, shape the way things are done, and bring your own ideas to the table. You'll be a trusted voice both inside the business and out.
What You'll Need
MRTPI-qualified, with solid experience leading planning work in consultancy or local authority.
A confident operator with a track record of handling complex and large-scale applications.
Strategic thinking with a commercial edge-you see the bigger picture and how planning decisions impact wider business goals.
Comfortable in a leadership role, mentoring more junior staff and being a key part of client relationships.
Why This Role?
Join a consultancy with an established name and growing influence in the market.
Work on a range of exciting, challenging projects across multiple sectors.
Be part of a smart, approachable team that values ambition, trust, and integrity.
Enjoy a modern working culture with flexibility and autonomy
