Your responsibilities will include carrying out landscape/townscape and visual impact assessments and providing strategic analysis and detailed design advice. While landscape planning is a focus, you will also have the opportunity to continue to utilise your landscape design skills.

You will work collaboratively across our UK Landscape team, including senior colleagues and technical and design specialists in our hub offices of Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, London, Reading and Warrington. This will enable you to benefit from the expertise of a range of skilled practitioners and develop as a well-rounded professional.

This role can be based from either our London, Birmingham or Cambridge offices, with hybrid working allowing for a mix of in-office and home working.

Our offices in London, Birmingham and Bristol are centrally located in the city centre within a short distance of public transport links. Our offices are welcoming and sociable places offering a supportive working environment.

About you

To be considered for this opportunity you will need to demonstrate your skills and experience in the following areas:

• Preliminary landscape and visual appraisals to inform the development process
• Landscape and visual impact assessments
• Conceptual and strategic design sketches as appropriate
• Townscape and visual impact assessments and tall building assessments
• Strategic assessments of designations such as Green Belts and Strategic Gaps
• Landscape Capacity and Sensitivity Studies and character assessments
• Input to Vision Documents, Design and Access Statements and Design Codes

We work within a friendly, inclusive and supportive culture, offering new and greater responsibilities with growth opportunities and genuine career progression. We provide a flexible working environment with hybrid/agile working and a wide range of benefits including a generous pension scheme, life assurance, private healthcare and a flexi-benefits package tailored to you.
