Berrys
At Berrys, we're all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services including planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation, and business consultancy to help our clients make the most of their assets.
You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team comprising planners, heritage consultants, archaeologists, engineers, and architects based in the Shrewsbury office. Our business is large enough to offer a varied range of work and opportunities but small enough to provide flexibility and the chance to really get to know everyone, helping you expand your skills and build new connections.
Our projects range from applications and appeals to site promotions, covering self-build houses, farm buildings, urban extensions, and solar farms. You will have the opportunity to manage your own caseload of projects and develop specialist skills in areas of interest.

Our clients are diverse, including householders, farmers, developers, investors, and landed estates.
Site visits and on-site advice are part of the role, requiring a driving license and access to a vehicle.
