Graduate Town Planner – Chester – Exciting Opportunity with Leading Planning Consultancy

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for shaping places and influencing development? Looking to kick-start your career in town planning with a company that truly invests in your growth? This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

I’m working closely with a highly respected planning and environmental consultancy based in Chester, and they’re currently looking to bring a Graduate Town Planner on board. This is a fantastic chance to be part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team that works on a wide variety of high-profile projects across the UK.

What’s on offer:

  • A supportive and collaborative working environment where your ideas are valued.

  • The opportunity to work alongside experienced planners and other specialists from day one.

  • A structured pathway toward Chartership with the RTPI.

  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and tailored career development plans.

  • Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package.

What they’re looking for:

  • A recent graduate (or soon-to-be) in Town Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, or a related discipline.

  • Strong communication and report-writing skills.

  • A genuine interest in the UK planning system and the built environment.

  • Ideally, some relevant experience (e.g. through a placement, internship, or previous role), but not essential.

  • Ambition, enthusiasm, and a proactive attitude.

This role would suit someone looking to start their planning career in a consultancy setting where no two days are the same and where you’ll gain exposure to a wide range of planning projects from the very start.

Location: Chester (with flexible working options available)
