Reed
Principal Planning Officer
- Maidenhead | Hybrid (mainly remote)
- Up to £61ph (umbrella)
- 3-month contract
I’m working with a council in Maidenhead who need a Principal Planning Officer to come in on an interim basis.
You’ll be helping the Team Manager keep things ticking over — dealing with a mix of applications (including majors), supporting the wider team, and stepping in where needed.
You’ll need to be comfortable attending planning committees (fortnightly), plus site visits and meetings when they come up.
Mostly remote role, but they’d like someone who can come into the office occasionally (ideally once a week, but they’re flexible).
