Town Planners often want to work with someone who genuinely understands the built environment, the pressures of project delivery, and the nuances of planning roles. I bring exactly that — and more. Here’s why they choose me:
I Actually Understand Their World
With over 25 years’ experience in architecture, land, design, and development — including Director-level leadership — I’ve worked directly with planners across residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes. I know the realities of the planning process, the constraints they face, and what employers really value in a Planner.
This gives planners confidence that I understand their skills, pressures, and aspirations.
I Speak the Same Language as Hiring Managers
Because I’ve been the person appointing planners, consultants, and technical staff, I know exactly what hiring directors look for. I can translate a planner’s experience into the specific outcomes employers want to see, helping them stand out instantly.
I Can Spot Genuine Progression — Not Sideways Moves
Many recruiters don’t grasp how varied planning roles are (policy, development management, strategic land, housebuilding, consultancy).
I do.
I can help planners navigate career paths across private and public sectors, advising them on:
-
Which moves genuinely advance their career
-
Where their skill set fits best
-
Employers whose values match theirs
This tailored guidance is a major draw.
My Network in Housebuilding and Development Is Deep
I have built long-term relationships across construction, land, technical, and development.
For planners wanting to break into housebuilding, try client-side roles, or move from consultancy, I offer access to opportunities they wouldn’t easily find alone.
I Provide Senior-Level Insight and Mentoring
I’m not “just” matching CVs — I help them understand how to position themselves, how development businesses operate, and what directors look for when hiring.
This gives planners a competitive edge and reduces the guesswork in their job search.
I’m Professional, Approachable, and Trusted
My reputation, communication skills, and experience running teams and my own business gives candidates a reassuring sense of professionalism. Planners feel comfortable opening up about their ambitions, frustrations, and concerns — knowing they’ll get honest, practical advice.
I Help Them Achieve More Rewarding Roles
Ultimately, planners work with me because I help them:
-
Earn more
-
Step into more influential positions
-
Move client-side
-
Broaden their skill set
-
Join companies with better culture and progression
I’m not just finding them a job — I’m helping them secure a better future.
