Life as a Boyer Graduate Planner
"Since joining Boyer as a Graduate Planner, I have been involved in a diverse range of projects across London and the South East, including residential, mixed-use and educational schemes. My involvement in these projects has allowed me to gain valuable experience by working directly with clients, liaising with the relevant Local Planning Authorities and other consultants, as well as preparing for and attending Examination in Public Hearings. Boyer's Graduate Programme has allowed me to develop my confidence as a young planner and supported me through the early stages of my career." Fiona Duffy, Graduate Planner, London Office
"Being a Graduate Planner at Boyer, I have gained valuable experience in a short amount of time. The opportunities in project management for minor hospitality projects and assisting in major residential projects have provided this. The empowerment from these projects has aided my confidence in attending project meetings and networking events. The naturally supportive environment has been the foundation and continues to provide me with guidance and exposure day-by-day. As a result, I look forward to progressing my professional development at Boyer." Emre Gundogdu, Graduate Planner, Cardiff Office
"Since joining Boyer as a Graduate Planner, I have been involved in a variety of projects ranging from large residential schemes to smaller householder applications, enabling me to gather a wide range of experience. I have been given the trust to lead on some of these projects which has helped me to develop essential skills. There have also been many opportunities for me to build connections with clients and other consultants through charity and networking events, which has helped me to build on my confidence. I have received support from the whole team who are always there to help, including assistance with my own professional development in regard to the submission of my APC." Jude Aggett, Graduate Planner, Wokingham Office
