Director of Planning (RTPI Town Planner)
Major Infrastructure & Development Consultancy
London
Are you a Senior Town Planner ready to step into a genuinely influential leadership role? This is a rare opportunity to shape the strategic direction of a nationally recognised planning and environmental consultancy — driving growth, leading high-performing teams, and making your mark on some of the UK's most significant infrastructure and development projects.
The Role
As Director of Planning, you'll sit at the heart of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team operating across the UK. This isn't a desk-bound management job — you'll be actively winning work, leading key client accounts and influencing how the practice evolves in a rapidly changing planning landscape.
Your focus will span three areas: strategic leadership, business growth and exceptional project delivery. You'll help shape the consultancy's national planning offering, build its pipeline of major projects across sectors including energy, transport, water and housing whilst ensuring the quality of service the team delivers remains second to none.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading and mentoring planning teams across multiple UK offices
Driving business development and securing major infrastructure and development commissions
Acting as lead director on flagship client accounts
Overseeing commercial performance, governance and risk across complex projects
Collaborating with environment, engineering, and design teams to deliver integrated solutions
Contributing to industry thinking on planning reform and infrastructure delivery
What We're Looking For
Degree or postgraduate qualification in Town Planning (RTPI accredited) and Chartered RTPI membership - Essential
Significant consultancy experience at a senior level, with a strong track record in winning and delivering major projects
Deep knowledge of the UK planning system, including DCO and other consenting regimes
A well-established professional network and recognised industry profile
Strong commercial awareness and confident stakeholder engagement skills
What's On Offer
A competitive salary likely to be in the range of £80k - £130k fully dependent on experience and interview, plus a tailored benefits package, hybrid working, flexible holidays and genuine investment in your professional development. You'll be joining a consultancy at the forefront of sustainable infrastructure, net zero, biodiversity net gain and digital transformation — work that genuinely matters.
