We're Growing... Come and Join Us.

Wignalls Chartered Surveyors is continuing to grow, and we're looking to expand our planning team with either an experienced Chartered Planner or an experienced Planning Consultant! (Were also on the lookout for an ambitious Graduate Planner looking to kick start their career too).

Planning has become one of the fastest growing parts of our business, and we're looking for people who enjoy solving problems, working with clients and delivering successful outcomes.

What makes our team different is the way we work together. Every application is discussed, challenged and refined as a team. We constantly bounce ideas off one another, drawing on each other's experience to make sure every submission is as robust as it can possibly be. That collaborative approach, combined with a genuine team spirit, is something we're incredibly proud of and is a key reason why we achieve such a high success rate.

Whether you're preparing planning applications, advising clients, negotiating with local planning authorities or helping to shape development proposals, you'll be surrounded by people who genuinely want to help each other succeed.

We're looking for someone who has strong planning knowledge, excellent communication skills and enjoys building relationships with clients. If you're an experienced planner, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your own projects while working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team. If you're a graduate, we'll provide the support, mentoring and experience needed to help you develop your career.

In return, we offer a highly competitive salary, excellent career progression, a company car if required, private healthcare if required, ongoing professional development and the opportunity to be part of a business that is growing quickly and investing in its people.

We're not looking for someone who simply wants another planning job. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of building one of the leading planning teams in the North West.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your CV in confidence or get in touch for an informal chat.
