Positions Available

We are now recruiting for the following positions:

  • Assistant Planner

Both roles involve working on a wide variety of exciting and challenging planning projects. The successful candidates will assist in the preparation and management of planning applications, appeals, site feasibility assessments, development plan submissions, and planning statements. You’ll be collaborating closely with clients, fellow consultants, and local authorities across Ireland.

The Assistant Planner will support senior colleagues in delivering high-quality planning advice and documentation. This role is suited to graduates or early-career professionals who are enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and eager to learn in a fast-paced consultancy environment.

This role is ideal for planners ready to step up in responsibility and work more autonomously.
