Create a strong network of developers, landowners, promoters and agents within the area and begin to increase the baseline of planning and development instructions. Utilise existing connections and relationships to increase the level and quality of our instructions within Kettering both for the planning and development function and, where possible, the wider service offers within the business. Gain an intimate understanding of our planning offer, the opportunities and weaknesses that we currently face and implement a plan to diversify. This should include both the types of development work we do as well as the markets we operate in.

Full time
Berrys At Berrys, we are all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services - planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation and business consultancy - to help our clients make the most of their assets. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary development team made up of engineers, surveyors, archaeologists, planners and architects. You will be part of a business which is big enough for a varied range of work and opportunities. However, it is small enough to provide autonomy and a chance to really get to know everyone expanding your skills and building new connections. A strategic requirement to create growth has arisen within the Kettering office. This role would benefit from an individual who is experienced in creating growth and establishing a presence in the Planning, Architecture and Building Surveying space. The successful candidate would have a track record of growing teams, creating brand awareness and establishing strong networks and relationships Operational Requirements - Principal Planning Consultant/Development Lead: Be the internal figurehead of our planning and development offer within the Kettering offices and be the go-to for technical expertise. Be experienced and comfortable delivering planning consultancy work in several different sectors and services. This should include general planning advice as well as strategic planning advice. Whilst the role will have a strategic focus, it is expected that candidates also deliver on their delivery obligations, working alongside the team to coordinate and prepare planning applications, provide expert advice to clients and have experience in dealing with post-planning negotiations and appeal work. Have a strong understanding of the entire development process, particularly post-planning work such as technical design, procurement and our construction-phase services. Demonstrate strong project management skills by coordinating teams both internally and externally, identifying the correct delivery team, manage client risks and project programmes. Offer support to other members of the team and help to grow and develop their knowledge and understand of planning and the wider development offer. Demonstrate a strong understanding of the financial requirements of our business and shape the way the team works to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability. Strategic Requirements - Principal Planning Consultant/Development Lead: Quickly gain a strong understanding of the business model, our various service offerings, and critically how they work together to create a unique offer to our clients. Demonstrate the ability to cross-sell other services such as Land Promotion, Agency and Valuation. Utilise a track record of marketing, business development and brand awareness to demonstrably grow our development offer within Northamptonshire. Create a strong network of developers, landowners, promoters and agents within the area and begin to increase the baseline of planning and development instructions. Utilise existing connections and relationships to increase the level and quality of our instructions within Kettering both for the planning and development function and, where possible, the wider service offers within the business. Gain an intimate understanding of our planning offer, the opportunities and weaknesses that we currently face and implement a plan to diversify. This should include both the types of development work we do as well as the markets we operate in.
