A major recruitment drive is underway to attract graduate planners from Tipperary into Ireland’s county and city councils.

The local government initiative aims to attract suitably qualified graduates exiting degree or masters courses in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Britain, or internationally.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to positively shape the future development of cities, towns and villages, turning ambitious projects into reality over the coming decades.

The initiative is part of the Government’s Ministerial Action Plan on Planning Resources, which sets out a roadmap to increase the pool of planning expertise in local authorities.

A total of 43 new posts are available in 26 of the 31 county and city councils nationwide, offering a starting salary of almost €39,000, 24 days’ annual leave and a structured career allowing graduates to progress to professional planning.

The new positions offer flexibility to work in Tipperary and other county and city councils in Ireland.

Visit Local Government Graduate Programme - Local Government Jobs for further details. Successful applicants are expected to take up positions in the autumn.
