A little bit more about your role and the team…
As a graduate in our Planning Engagement team, you’ll help people understand and engage with projects that can shape where they live, work and travel. You’ll turn technical information into clear, accessible communications, support consultation activity and help project teams listen to feedback so schemes can develop in a responsible and informed way.
You could support engagement on major projects across areas such as transport, energy, utilities, regeneration and infrastructure, helping communities, stakeholders and project teams understand proposals and contribute to the development of responsible, informed schemes.
