Senior Planner / Associate – Avison Young

Overall Purpose of Job

Avison Young is one of the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate firms. This growth is a testament to our commitment to our clients and our employees. We are different. We have designed our organisation to
be highly collaborative and focused on one thing: creating the best solutions for our clients to deliver long-term success. We will continue to evolve, striving to meet the changing needs of our industry, our clients and
our employees, but we will remain true to our values, culture and vision.

Why work for us?
We believe our industry is changing and we want our business to be a company of curious minds, passionate hearts and strategic intelligence. At Avison Young, we are committed to hiring people from all walks of life who have a collaborative style and innovations focus; we believe a diverse and embracing workforce makes for a stronger, more capable and competitive company. We will provide you with a place where you can step up and change the game.

Collaboration is embedded in the way we work – our people have the autonomy to collaborate on client relationships, engage teams across the business, lead operations, work collectively on projects, participate in strategy and are ultimately responsible for our growth.

Our distinctive Principal-led, privately-owned model puts us in the enviable position of being able to offer every employee the opportunity to own a share of our business and inspires and allows anyone to become a Principal. This role carries voting rights, so our people have a very real say in the future direction and operation of our business. This means that we are able to attract, engage and retain the best talent.

We’re continuing to grow! Our Dublin Planning & Place Team has opportunities for a Senior Planner/Associate in our Dublin Office. If you are talented, ambitious and ready to take the next step in your career, we would welcome your application to join our team. Recent appointments to a number of prestigious inner-city regeneration projects, and the growing demand for our services by housing, healthcare and infrastructure clients, mean we are investing in our team.

As a team our purpose is to create economic, social, and environmental value for our clients and the communities in which we operate. Our approach blends professional expertise, local intelligence, and positive working relationships with planning authorities.
