Senior Landscape Architect

Leeds

Likely £35-45k DOE but negotiable

Our client is a well established consultancy with an experienced planning and landscape team who have developed excellent relationships with its expanding client base and has a significant pipeline of exciting projects to deliver.

An opportunity has arisen for a talented and motivated Landscape Architect, ideally at Senior level, to join them where you will be part of a busy landscape & planning team, managing a varied range of projects throughout the UK.

Projects will be varied although predominantly energy infrastructure led, with some waste, mineral and commercial schemes. Experience of landscape and visual impact assessment, feasibility studies and environmental aspects of landscape architecture is therefore essential. In addition, experience of residential master planning, landscape restoration, landscape management plans and soft works design would be an advantage.

Suitable candidates will have a relevant degree in Landscape Architecture (or equivalent), a post graduate Landscape Architecture qualification and be a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute (CMLI). Ideally candidates will have 2 – 5 years post chartered experience, but other levels will be considered.

A proven knowledge of AutoCAD, GIS and graphics software is required. You will be prepared to work as part of a team or independently as required, at all project stages and be confident in liaising with clients and third parties. You will have excellent communication skills and take a proactive approach to your work, with excellent time and workload management skills.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Landscape Architect to further their career with likeminded individuals in a flexible and forward-thinking company. In return for hard work and dedication, a competitive salary is on offer (negotiable dependent upon experience), together with training and career development opportunities.

Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
