At Mint Selection, we specialise in planning permission recruitment in renewables, helping developers, consultants, and infrastructure investors hire professionals who guide projects through the complex planning and permitting process. In a sector defined by regulation and land-use policy, planning specialists are critical to project viability, timelines, and stakeholder engagement.

From early-stage land strategy to post-consent compliance, we recruit professionals who keep projects moving forward—smoothly and sustainably.
