Job Description & How to Apply Below
Morson Edge is currently recruiting for a Principal Town Planner to join an established planning-led consultancy based in Gloucestershire. With a diverse project pipeline covering residential, strategic land, and renewable energy schemes, this is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of projects, work independently, and contribute to the growth of a high-performing team. You'll be working alongside a small, experienced team, managing projects from inception through to completion, and helping to mentor junior staff while supporting client management and business development.

What You'll Be Doing Managing a varied portfolio of planning projects, including residential, strategic, and renewable schemes, from inception through to delivery. Taking responsibility for client relationships and managing consultants where required. Preparing planning applications, statements, reports, and supporting technical documents. Participating in public consultations and representing projects to stakeholders. Mentoring and developing junior team members, supporting their technical growth.

Contributing to business development, promoting services, and supporting the team's growth. What We're Looking For MRTPI (or working towards) with strong private-sector experience, ideally from a consultancy environment. Proven experience managing development control projects and residential schemes. Direct client management experience and the ability to take projects from inception to delivery. Confident and independent, with the ability to take a strategic view while delivering practical outcomes.

Collaborative mindset with a focus on practical delivery rather than excessive detail. Experience in renewable energy projects and/or minerals planning advantageous but not essential. What's On Offer Salary: £45,000 – £55,000 (depending on experience). Hybrid working pattern: 3 days WFH, 2 days in office. Supportive, multidisciplinary team environment. Clear path for career progression and leadership development. Opportunity to work on diverse and meaningful projects with mid-sized developers and promoters.

Real chance to shape project delivery and contribute to business growth. Interested? Send your CV today, or contact Jonah Peto at Morson Edge for a confidential discussion about this opportunity. Email:
