Hi! I’m Rebecca. With over four years of recruitment experience placing great
candidates into new opportunities within the Building Control Surveying
and Town Planning sectors, I love building strong relationships between job
seekers and clients.
I have established some key relationships with private consultancies (small
and large scale), and continue to build upon my connections with Town
Planners and Building Control professionals across the country. My specialty
is filling roles within the Town Planning and Building Control industries at all
levels, so I’m always interested in speaking with any of the following:
Graduate Planners | Legal Sector Planners | Town Planners |
Minerals and Waste Planners | Planning Assistants | Building Control
Surveyors | Building Control Project Managers
