Persimmon Homes Anglia are seeking a RTPI Planner or Senior RTPI Planner to join the busy Land team in Norwich covering the Norfolk and Waveney region.

Who are we?

Building around 16,000 beautifully designed new homes a year in more than 400 prime locations nationwide; Persimmon is one of the UK's leading house-builders, committed to the highest standards of design, construction and service. We believe our quality really differentiates us from the competition. In fact, our reputation is built on quality.  We build quickly and efficiently and expect a lot from our office and site teams, however in turn we’ll reward you for your commitment and hard work and recognise your contribution to the business. 

Our team of Planners undertake the majority of the project work in-house from identifying new development opportunities and Local Plan promotion through to securing planning permission for residential led developments of varying scales and complexity.

What are we looking for?

The role would suit a candidate with sufficient town planning experience to independently oversee the day to day management of planning projects and advise on strategy. Experience in identifying new development sites and/or promoting sites for Local Plan allocation is desirable to take a strong role in progressing Persimmon Anglia’s land search strategy. So candidates from planning policy or residential developer or promoter backgrounds are encouraged to apply but candidates from all Planning backgrounds and levels of experience will be considered.

The role would suit self-motivated and ambitious individuals who are keen to build their career within a fast-paced commercial environment. The role will require a high standard of written communication, inter-personal skills and commercial awareness with the ability to adapt to change and to work accurately and efficiently under time pressure.

What’s in it for you?

A competitive salary and benefits package including a pension, life insurance, company car / car allowance, healthcare and a generous bonus. Above all an honest, driven approach which offers the chance to work with some great people!
