Following its recent acquisition by SLR, Wardell Armstrong forms part of a leading global environmental and sustainability consultancy working on projects across the world from over 100 offices. Starting as a UK business in 1994, SLR now operates as a global company with more than 3,500 people, delivering client-focused solutions across Europe, North America, Pacific Asia and Africa. Throughout this time SLR has strived to grow both organically and through welcoming other like-minded businesses, such as Wardell Armstrong, into its “One Team” of talented consultants. In doing so, its core objective is to assist clients and colleagues alike in “Making Sustainability Happen”.
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Town Planner to join our team. We are flexible on experience and welcome candidates at all stages of their career, including Junior to Senior (typically 2 to 5 years’ experience), and Principal to Associate Director (typically 8 to 15 years’ experience) level.
This role will suit a talented, highly collaborative Planning Consultant who enjoys taking responsibility and leading projects. Working within a multi-disciplinary team, the role will require an excellent eye for detail in reviewing and approving submissions of EIA and non-EIA planning applications. Experience EIA projects and working on Developments of National Significance and Development Consent Order schemes would be advantageous. Experience of plan promotion, appeals, and public inquiries would also be desirable, subject to knowledge and stage of career.
The ideal candidate will possess strong technical, report-writing and project management skills, and have a proven ability to contribute to and run (depending on experience) medium to large-scale complex projects whilst producing high-quality results.
Project work will be varied, and there will be a strong focus on renewable energy, infrastructure and residential schemes as well as other commercial development projects. Project work will be within Wales and the Southwest as well as further afield across the UK.
