Associate Landscape Architect

I’m working with an award-winning UK-based environmental consultancy that supports developers, landowners and planning teams in managing the environmental aspects of development.

Their work sits at the intersection of landscape planning, ecology, arboriculture and green infrastructure. They’re typically brought in at the earliest stages of a project — advising on constraints, opportunities and site strategy — and remain involved through to planning and delivery. Their portfolio is broad, covering residential and commercial developments, strategic land promotion, and infrastructure projects across both urban and rural environments.

Rather than acting purely as technical consultants, they play an active role in shaping schemes. That includes early feasibility work, landscape and visual assessment, input into Environmental Impact Assessments, and developing landscape-led strategies that influence design and planning outcomes. The business is structured around collaboration, with in-house specialists working closely together to provide a joined-up approach.

They’re now looking to appoint an experienced Landscape Planner to strengthen the team, at Associate Landscape Architect level.

The Role

This is a hands-on role within the Landscape Planning team, offering exposure to a broad mix of projects. As an Associate Landscape Architect, you’ll be responsible for managing and delivering work to a high standard, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget, while maintaining regular client contact.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading and supporting landscape planning work across all stages

Producing technical reports including feasibility studies, LVAs, LVIAs and EIA inputs

Contributing to landscape strategy and mitigation design

Working across both urban and rural developments

Collaborating with internal ecology, biodiversity and arboriculture teams

Managing client and stakeholder relationships

There is also scope to get involved in wider business activities, including mentoring and supporting growth, reflecting the responsibilities expected of an Associate Landscape Architect.
