Our work extends widely throughout the surrounding region, from urban to rural environs, developing opportunities for community benefit and reconnection to nature including Northern Roots, the UK’s largest urban farm and eco-park project in Greater Manchester. Find out more about our Manchester projects here.

You’ll be working on career defining projects that will help shape the future of the city and wider region for future generations and will be actively engaged in delivering exceptional public realm schemes. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to our friendly and collaborative studio culture and mentor less experienced colleagues. Discover more about our studios including Manchester here.
