Job Description
Our client is one of the UK's leading multi-disciplinary consultancies and its UK Planning Team is looking for a senior urban designer / master planner to join the Birmingham office.
The successful candidate will work in a multi-disciplinary environment interacting with town and country planners, transport planners, economists, landscape architects and other environmental staff on high-profile projects that are at the forefront of good practice. As such, the work is both challenging and rewarding.
The candidate should hold a degree (or equivalent) in Planning, Architecture or Landscape Architecture, with specialist studies in Urban Design. The candidate should possess techniques to communicate their design ideas three-dimensionally including freehand sketching and through the use of the following computer packages: AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch-Up and other 3D computer modelling software. The candidate should also be familiar with desk top publishing.
The successful candidate will lead the design work for the UK Planning Team in Birmingham and may also be asked to contribute to projects outside of that immediate region. Initially there will be no drawing support staff and therefore the candidate must be self-sufficient in that regard. As the work load grows there will be the opportunity to add other designers to the office.
Key aspects of the job will also include leading or contributing to bids for new work and the project management of design-led projects. In that regard previous experience in those areas would be looked upon favourably.
The type of projects to be undertaken include: town centre and community master plans, design guides, sustainable urban extensions and submissions to emerging LDFs, including Area Action Plans.
