Job description

Role - Senior/Associate Landscape Architect

Location - Gloucestershire

Salary - £DOE

Our client, a growing, design-led multidisciplinary practice is looking to bring in a Senior or Associate Landscape Architect to join its landscape team. With a team of over 100 people across three UK studios, they've built a strong reputation for delivering well thought out, people-focused projects across a wide mix of sectors.

The landscape team works closely with architects and urban designers, so projects are genuinely collaborative from day one. Ideas are developed with delivery in mind, meaning you're not just designing on paper, you're seeing projects through and making sure they work in the real world.

Projects range across residential, education, public realm, commercial and leisure, often involving complex, multi-disciplinary coordination. The team is involved right from early concept stages through to completion, so there's plenty of variety and ownership in the role.

There's a strong people-first culture across the studio, with a big emphasis on relationships, teamwork and creating places that genuinely improve quality of life. A high level of repeat work reflects the trust they've built with clients over time.
