Our team brings together landscape architects, urban designers, architects, planners, and sustainability specialists. What sets us apart is our ability to collaborate across disciplines to solve complex, sometimes unconventional challenges, helping clients realize integrated visions and create places that are successful, resilient, and people-centered.

We offer a broad and well-established landscape architecture service, supporting our clients with:

• Major infrastructure programme management and delivery

• Strategic planning and policy review

We work seamlessly alongside Arup's wide-ranging expertise, including urban design, ecology, architecture, planning, engineering, cost consultancy, and sustainability—ensuring every project benefits from a holistic, multidisciplinary perspective.

• Helping to prepare key project documentation such as reports, client submittals, meeting minutes, presentations, and project plans.
• Contributing to the organization and documentation of project meetings, including tracking actions and ensuring follow-up.
• Supporting the Project Manager and senior team with project reporting, progress tracking, and risk identification.
• Assisting in the preparation and management of Requests for Information (RFIs), change control documentation, and contractual records under guidance.
• Engaging with a variety of stakeholders, including architects, engineers, clients, subconsultants, and JV partners, to help maintain clear communication and project alignment.
• Helping to develop and maintain project management tools and systems to support efficient delivery.
• Gaining broad technical awareness to effectively support and understand multidisciplinary project teams.
• Contributing to commercial oversight tasks such as budget tracking, expenditure monitoring, and cost reporting, as your experience grows.
