We are working with an award-winning environmental planning, landscape architecture and design consultancy that is looking to appoint an Assistant Landscape Architect to join its growing landscape planning team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with an interest in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA), renewable energy, infrastructure and strategic landscape planning projects.

- A degree or postgraduate qualification in Landscape Architecture
- Around 1 to 3 years' professional experience, although strong graduates will also be considered

- Experience using Adobe Creative Suite and AutoCAD
- A willingness to undertake site visits across the UK when required
- A desire to work towards Chartership if not already on the Pathway

- Competitive salary
- Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
- Support towards Chartership
- Exposure to major renewable energy and infrastructure projects
- Ongoing training and professional development
- Payment of professional subscriptions
