Career Opportunities as an Employee

We are a small company but we are proving to be very successful in a difficult market.  The work load is varied and we have a regular amount of work that is brought to us from some fantastic clients.  We are therefore looking to expand and grow the team and we want to do so with the right people.  If you agree with the following then you might want to make contact:

If this is the case then please send your CV and any details of your experience to info@optimis-consulting.co.uk.  We don’t want to wait for a vacancy before we consider employing new people, we are prepared to be approached and if you can offer us something that makes good business sense then please introduce yourself!

Irrespective of roles within the business, we aim to employ people who fit in with our culture and way of working and living.  We are less concerned with paper qualifications and more interested in people who have real personal skills, people who are able to communicate well, utilise modern technology, meet with people, show ambition, drive, and through well rounded personal skills are able to act successfully in the interests of the company and those people that we represent.  We want people to be interesting and to be able to enjoy themselves at work, whilst respect the needs of the business.  We believe that sociable people who have a business like appearance are an essential component of any successful business.

At the present however, we are keen to hear from people that might suit the following roles:

Planning Manager – Senior or Junior

The business would like to recruit someone who has the relevant experience to work alone and has a proven track in promoting property for development.  This will be through preparing and submitting planning applications, appeals or representations to the emerging policy documents.

The nature of our business is that this person would come into direct contact with all clients whether they are house owners or corporate clients and as such a confident, charismatic approach and smart appearance is an essential quality for this role.

This role is intended to attract someone who is ambitious, wants to earn money commensurate with their own efforts. The basic salary will be significantly improved through a genuine bonus related scheme that rewards all employees based on the success of the business.  The more that the business makes the more the staff get paid.

We want someone who has aspirations to not only to grow the business but also expand the team that work at Optimis.  We want a person who will develop into a Director or a Partner, if this were appropriate and have an opportunity to take responsibility for the entire Company, when the appropriate time comes. 

Do you want to be at the start of a progressive company that genuinely expects to grow and generate personal reward?

Graduate Planner – work experience.

This is a role that would be voluntary.  We would not be able to tie you down to hours or days but would encourage you to work with us over a period of time that provides you with the best opportunity to learn more about the planning system.  The role is unpaid, although reasonable expenses will be agreed.  Someone who shows particular skills and commitment will place themselves in a strong position to be offered a contract to work on a part time or full time basis.  It is our intention to identify a graduate through this programme who may be offered a planning and development assistant role, either within three weeks or three months!

You would obtain experience in a range of planning related subjects including residential development inspired by our sister company Optimis Developments Limited.  Although a small company this will ensure that you engage in all aspects of the business and this will give you a more rounded knowledge of the industry than may be possible in some larger organisations.
