Application Deadline: Recruitment is ongoing. Please apply as soon as possible as the advert may close once we have sufficient applicants.

Your Role

Ready to make a real impact as a Graduate Landscape Architect? We're seeking someone who believes passionately in landscape architecture's power to address climate change and who wants to grow their career with one of the world's most sustainable companies. If you're looking for a role that truly makes a difference to both communities and the environment, with excellent progression opportunities, consider joining us in Bristol, Reading, Manchester, or Edinburgh.

We are a Registered Practice with the Landscape Institute. Our team comprises experienced chartered landscape architects and those on their Pathway to Chartership, offering a supportive and expert environment. You'll engage with a wide variety of projects across diverse sectors, including strategic land, regeneration, residential, commercial, mixed-use, renewable energy, highways, and water. Your work will involve preparing assessments (landscape, townscape, visual), offering pre-master planning advice, and developing designs for environmental mitigation, green infrastructure, and overall landscapes.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will be varied and hands-on: conducting site visits and visual surveys, gathering background data, and preparing all necessary drawings, plans, sections, and sketches. You'll contribute written input to appraisals, technical notes, and reports, working on everything from landscape planning and LVIAs to full landscape designs. Crucially, you'll collaborate with our in-house ecologists, engineers, and planners, integrating landscape solutions with other built environment disciplines.
