RTPI accredited Town Planner with proven experience in a similar role or looking to step up. You may be presently working in a local authority, consultancy or for a developer or housebuilder. You will be capable of managing a varied workload and be confident taking on the responsibility for the day-to-day management of concurrently running projects.

Our way of working

We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together— in offices or on site – to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; teams manage their own ways of working and we focus on outputs.

Inclusion

At Tetra Tech, we want everyone to feel like they truly belong. Our goal is to create a workplace where every person is valued and respected for who they are. Everyone is welcome at Tetra Tech. Opportunities and success should be determined by attitude, capability and collaborative spirit. Be yourself, without apology.
