About the Role

Ocean to Earth Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a dynamic, forward-thinking multidisciplinary consultancy to find their next Planning Consultant or Senior Planner.

If you’re an energetic planner looking to fast-track your development — or a Senior Planner ready to step into a more influential role — this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. 🌍


🧭 The Role
This is more than just planning application support. You’ll be managing your own projects, working directly with clients, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of environmental experts. Expect plenty of variety, mentorship, and opportunity for long-term career growth.

Whether you're working towards MRTPI Chartership or already chartered, you’ll be supported every step of the way — with structured mentoring and a strong track record of professional development across the business.


🛠 You’ll Bring:
✅ 2–3+ years’ experience in town planning, ideally in a consultancy setting
✅ Strong writing and project management skills (e.g. planning statements)
✅ Confidence communicating with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders
✅ Ambition to become MRTPI chartered (or already a member)
✅ A full UK driving licence


🌱 Why Apply?

  • Career progression towards Senior Planner and beyond

  • L-APC mentoring with excellent first-time pass rates

  • Supportive, collaborative team with long-standing staff

  • Opportunity to grow your own client relationships and responsibility

  • Work from a vibrant Bristol base with hybrid flexibility
