Partner - Planning and Development Consultancy Location: Northamptonshire Confidential appointment Immediate Partner / Equity opportunity for the right individual, or a clearly defined pathway Joshua Robert are supporting a confidential appointment for an established consultancy looking to strengthen its planning and development offer across the Midlands. This is aimed at an experienced MRTPI-qualified planning professional who is either already operating at Partner level, or is close to that point but does not yet have the title, influence or reward to match. The opportunity is straightforward: lead, grow and shape a regional planning consultancy offer with genuine autonomy and a serious commercial platform behind you. For the right person, this can include immediate Partner status and equity participation. If that is not appropriate from day one, there is scope to agree a clear and structured pathway to achieve it. The Opportunity This is not a standard Planning Manager role. The client is looking for someone who can take ownership of a planning and development consultancy function, develop client relationships, win instructions and build a stronger regional presence. The role will suit someone who enjoys the commercial side of consultancy as much as the technical side: advising clients, identifying opportunities, building relationships and creating long-term value.

Why It Is Worth Considering This opportunity is likely to appeal if you are asking yourself: Am I already operating at this level without the title or reward? Is my route to equity clear, or just talked about? Am I building value for someone else without a meaningful stake? Could I grow something faster with the right backing? Do I want more control over the clients, work and team I build? The client can offer: Immediate Partner status for the right person Potential equity participation A clear route to partnership if not immediate Senior-level package shaped around experience and commercial value Autonomy to lead and grow a regional planning function Existing relationships and workstreams to build from Scope to recruit and develop a team around you Direct influence in the direction of the business The Role The successful candidate will lead the growth of a planning and development consultancy offer across the Midlands. The role will involve: Developing instructions from landowners, developers, promoters, investors and property clients Providing strategic planning advice across residential, commercial, mixed-use and strategic land projects Leading on pre-application strategy, planning applications, appeals and post-planning work Building and maintaining senior client relationships Generating new business through referrals, networks and market activity Building a stronger regional profile for the planning offer Growing a team as the opportunity develops Contributing to the wider commercial direction of the business The Person You will need to be MRTPI qualified . You are likely to be operating as a Senior Associate, Associate Director, Director, Salaried Partner or Partner within planning consultancy, development consultancy or a similar advisory environment. You should bring: Strong private sector planning consultancy experience Credibility with landowners, developers, agents, local authorities and professional teams A track record of developing client relationships Commercial judgement and business development ability Technical strength across planning strategy, applications, appeals and development advice The confidence to represent a consultancy externally The ambition to build and grow a profitable planning offer The key requirement is simple: the client is looking for someone who can create commercial value, not just deliver planning work. For a confidential discussion, please apply or contact Joshua Robert directly.

c£80,000 West Midlands A leading building control consultancy is looking for experienced Registered Specialist Building Inspectors to join a high-performing team at the heart of one of the UK's most active construction markets. These are substantive, permanent roles offering genuine variety, strong job security, and a benefits package that the private sector rarely matches. The organisation Our client occupies a genuinely unusual position in the market. Operating at the intersection of public-sector rigour and private-sector commercial practice, they deliver building control services across a major English city whilst simultaneously acting as an Approved Inspector on a portfolio of significant retail, leisure, and commercial projects. It is a model that gives the team and the individuals within it the best of both worlds: the stability and purpose of public service alongside the pace, variety, and client exposure of consultancy work. The city itself is one of the most significant construction markets outside London. Regeneration is ongoing at scale, with major investment flowing into commercial, residential, and mixed-use development. There is no shortage of interesting work, and that is not expected to change. The role You will manage and inspect a varied caseload of projects, working across a wide range of building types and construction methods. The complexity on offer here goes well beyond what most single-sector roles can provide one week may involve a technically demanding commercial shell-and-core, the next a large-scale mixed-use scheme at planning gateway stage. The team operates collaboratively. You will work alongside architects, structural engineers, fire engineers, and other consultants rather than in isolation, which makes for richer work and faster professional development. Senior colleagues are accessible, knowledge-sharing is embedded in the culture, and the organisation invests meaningfully in CPD rather than treating it as a box-ticking exercise. You will be trusted to manage your own time and caseload. The organisation operates a genuine hybrid model with a city-centre base used typically one to two days a week, and a flex-time policy that gives you real control over how your working week is structured. Why this over private practice? It is a fair question, and the honest answer is: stability, benefits, and breadth. The defined benefit pension scheme alone represents a material financial advantage over most private-sector alternatives. Job security is real. Annual leave is generous. And because the team operates across both local authority and approved inspector work, the caseload diversity is something that a purely private or purely public role simply cannot replicate. Professional fees are covered. Development is funded. And the market supplement reflects the fact that this employer understands what good people are worth. What the role offers Local Authority defined benefit pension and life assurance £5,000 market supplement 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays professional fees paid funded CPD and learning employee assistance programme retail discounts volunteering leave flex-time working A note on culture This is not a transactional employer. The team has low turnover, which says something. People stay because the work is good, the flexibility is real, and there is a genuine sense of contributing to something that matters the places people live, work, and spend time in are shaped, in part, by decisions made here.
