Senior Planner
We’re working with a leading land development and planning consultancy to find an experienced Senior Planner to join their Hamilton team. With a strong pipeline of work and a brand-new office opening soon in the city, this is an exciting time to come on board.
About the role
You’ll be managing your own projects end-to-end – from resource consents to plan changes – and working closely with clients to deliver high-quality planning outcomes. The work is varied and fast-paced, spanning land development, land use, and infrastructure projects across the Waikato and beyond.
You’ll also play a key part in supporting junior planners, sharing your expertise, and helping to maintain a collaborative, high-performing team culture. This role is based in the office, so we’re looking for someone who values face-to-face teamwork and enjoys contributing to the daily rhythm of the team.
What we’re looking for
You’ll be a confident, self-sufficient planner who can hit the ground running and deliver great results for clients. You’ll bring:
10+ years’ planning experience within consultancy (NZPI full membership an advantage)
Strong understanding of planning processes and the RMA
Excellent communication, report writing, and client relationship skills
The ability to manage multiple projects and mentor others when needed
A current NZ Driver’s Licence
Why you’ll want to join
You’ll be joining a well-established consultancy that’s known for delivering complex, high-profile projects – and doing it with a great team spirit. They offer the opportunity to work on challenging, meaningful projects while enjoying a supportive, down-to-earth environment.
With a modern new Hamilton CBD office opening soon, there’s real momentum and excitement about what’s ahead.
Interested?
If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you.
