THE TEAM
Our Historic Environment and Townscape team is an established, market leading practice with over 20 years’ experience delivering some of the UK’s most high profile and complex projects. Our portfolio includes nationally significant schemes such as the British Museum, Earls Court, the National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, and Smithfield in Birmingham. We are known for taking on challenging projects where deep expertise, sound judgement and a rigorous planning approach are essential to success.
We operate as a national practice from offices in London and Edinburgh, advising a wide and varied client base. Those clients include leading developers, educational institutions, charities and cultural organisations, government bodies and the NHS. Our work spans all sectors and scales, giving our team exposure to an exceptional range of projects and planning environments.
The team comprises around 30 specialists with expertise across heritage, planning, townscape, urban design and architecture. Our strength lies in combining high quality research, robust analysis and clear professional advice within a planning context.
The successful candidate will support planning related work requiring specialist heritage, townscape and visual impact assessment skills, with regular opportunities to collaborate with architects, project managers, lawyers and other professionals across the property sector.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This opportunity is with a sector-leading team, providing advice on a wide range of high-profile projects where historic research, contextual analysis, design and visual impact are critical to the planning process.
The right candidate will have the opportunity to progress through our successful partnership and will have exposure to a varied range of work. We offer experience in a position offering early responsibility with a strong client focus, excellent career prospects and an extensive CPD programme.
The role would suit an ambitious individual who specialises in historic environment and townscape matters, particularly those related to historic buildings, conservation areas and other sensitive heritage assets such as World Heritage Sites.
Recognising that many candidates with expertise in the historic environment and/or townscape do not have formal planning qualifications to degree level, the firm supports talented and engaged individuals in achieving their RTPI accreditation through mentoring, practical experience and study.
