Due to continued growth, Cadnant Planning is seeking to appoint a Planner and/or Senior Planner to join our expanding consultancy team.

​

We are a small, close-knit practice delivering an exciting and diverse portfolio of projects across North Wales and Cheshire, including involvement in major infrastructure schemes alongside a broad range of residential, commercial, rural and mixed-use developments. This is an opportunity to take on meaningful responsibility within a supportive environment where your contribution will directly influence projects and clients.

 

The Role

You will work as part of a planning consultancy team alongside Directors and senior colleagues, contributing across all stages of the development and planning process. The role offers exposure to varied and often complex projects, requiring a proactive and solutions-focused approach.

Because of the diversity of our workload, a proven ability to manage your own time, prioritise effectively, and resolve issues independently is essential.
