Senior Planner / Principal Planner
MBH - Strategic delivery partner for complex property, development and energy infrastructure projects.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious Chartered Planner to create and lead a new Planning business within an established consultancy already delivering complex projects for major UK clients.
W Talent Property & Real Estate is delighted to be partnering exclusively with MBH on a unique opportunity for an ambitious Senior Planner or Principal Planner looking to take the next step in their career.
This is not a traditional planning role.
MBH is a growing, employee-owned multidisciplinary consultancy delivering complex property, development and infrastructure projects across the UK. Working with clients including Shell, Tesco, Amazon, E.ON, M&S and MFG, the business has built an outstanding reputation for delivering projects across the retail, roadside, energy, EV charging and commercial sectors.
As MBH's first dedicated planning professional, you'll have the opportunity to establish and lead a new Planning division, supported by an established client base, a strong pipeline of projects and referral opportunities from architecture, project management and cost consultancy teams.

- Provide strategic planning advice from feasibility through to consent
- Develop and grow MBH's Planning service offering
- Build long-term relationships with major national clients
- Recruit and lead a future planning team
- Shape the strategic direction of a growing business unit
For an entrepreneurial planner, this represents a rare opportunity to build a business within a business, with the backing, resources and reputation of an established consultancy.
About You
We're keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:
- MRTPI qualification
- 6+ years' planning experience
- Strong knowledge of the UK planning system
- Experience within a consultancy, developer or client-side environment
- Commercial awareness and strong client relationship skills
- The ambition and mindset to grow a new service line
What's on Offer?

- Clear pathway towards Director-level responsibility and rewards
- Genuine opportunity to build and lead a successful Planning team
If you're looking for the chance to move beyond project delivery and create something of your own within a progressive and growing consultancy, we'd love to hear from you.
