YOUR NEW ROLE, WHATS INVOLVED?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Consultant / Senior Planner to join our successful and growing Environment Planning team based in Glasgow.
The Environmental Planning team specialise in providing advice to a wide-range of private and public sector clients and are proud to be involved in leading some of the UK’s largest and most high-profile projects. These span from regeneration sites to wind farms (onshore/offshore), hydrogen and energy generation/transmission, minerals, waste, and transport. Current clients include Scottish Power, Shell, SGN Gas Distribution, EDF and numerous others.
You will be supported by a People Manager based in Glasgow, with regular access to a wider team across the UK. WSP offers internal mentorship for those progressing through their Chartership with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
You will have demonstrable experience across the planning and EIA spectrum, a proven ability to deliver to a high standard, strong communication skills, passion to share your knowledge and a desire to learn and contribute to the on-going success of our team. Ideally, you already have experience of Scottish Legislation and Planning Policy, but this is not a pre-requisite.
As one of the world’s leading engineering, professional services and technical consultancy firms, at WSP, we’re passionate about the big questions. And big answers, naturally. For us that’s all about reaching beyond the expected, to do work that’ll make a profound impact felt long into the future.
The role will involve:
- Desk-based research, data management, managing environmental teams and report writing;
- Providing clients with the appropriate technical and environmental consenting advice in relation to TCPA Planning Permissions, Section 36/Section 37 Consents, Development Consent Orders and similar consents;
- Be involved across project lifecycles from early strategy development, through feasibility/optioneering to detailed design and assessment, including the production of documents for pre-application, planning application and EIA purposes;
- Representing our clients to key stakeholders, regulators and the public
WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO HAVE
- Sound knowledge and experience of the UK planning system (particular in Scotland)
- Excellent reporting and communication skills to be able to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team, to deliver carefully considered solutions to produce high quality work
- Proven ability to build relationships with internal and external stakeholders, clients, suppliers, and industry
- An RTPI accredited undergraduate or masters degree in Town Planning
- Working towards or having achieved Chartership with RTPI
- Ability to travel to site and or client offices as required.
