Job description

Role - Project to Senior Level Landscape Architects

Location – Newcastle upon Tyne

Salary – £40 - £55K DOE

An established and highly regarded landscape architecture studio in Newcastle upon Tyne is looking to strengthen its team with experienced Landscape Architects at Project to Senior levels.

The studio has developed an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality landscape design across a diverse portfolio of projects throughout the UK. With a strong pipeline of work and continued investment in the team, this is an exciting opportunity for ambitious professionals looking to develop their careers within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

The consultancy works across a variety of sectors, and while a large part of these are within residential and education sectors, they also work across healthcare, public realm, regeneration and commercial developments, which means everyone has the chance to be involved in projects of varying scales and complexities.

THE ROLE

Of particular interest are Landscape Architects who have reached a stage in their careers where they can confidently take ownership of projects, manage their own workload and coordinate the design and delivery process.

• Managing landscape architecture projects from concept through to detailed design and construction.


• Preparing and coordinating design, tender and construction documentation.


• Liaising with clients, consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders.


• Taking responsibility for project programmes, deadlines and deliverables.


• Producing high-quality landscape design proposals and technical information.


• Supporting and mentoring less experienced members of the team.


• Contributing to the successful delivery and continued development of the practice's project portfolio.

ABOUT YOU

Applications are welcomed from experienced Project Landscape Architects through to established Senior professionals who are confident managing projects and taking responsibility for their delivery.

Suitable candidates will ideally demonstrate:

• Relevant experience within a UK landscape architecture consultancy.


• Strong design and technical delivery skills.


• Experience managing projects and coordinating with multidisciplinary teams.


• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite.


• A good understanding of construction detailing, specifications and landscape implementation.


• Excellent communication, organisational and client-facing skills.


• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team.

Chartership would be advantageous, particularly for more senior positions, although relevant experience and the ability to deliver projects successfully are equally important.

ON OFFER

• Salary £40 - £55K DOE


• Employee Ownership Trust annual bonus, with the first £3,600 tax free


• 33 days' annual leave including bank holidays


• Private medical insurance through AXA, including dental and optical cover
