Posted on: 08/09/2016 ~ Company:

A great opportunity has arisen for either a strong Senior Planner or an Associate to join an expanding planning consultancy team in London’s West End.

This position is within the firm’s commercial planning team which includes projects within commercial, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial, leisure and hotels sectors.
