Associate Landscape Planner - Flexible Location

Possibly the standout Landscape Planner opportunity of 2026

The landscape profession has shifted and so has the demand for talented landscape planners and LVIA specialists. Plenty of roles out there will offer you “great opportunities”, and while most of them are perfectly fine, solid and safe....This one is different.

If you work in LVIA, this is not the moment to scroll past. This is the role people look back on and say ¨that was the one I should have explored¨ and definitely one you need to add to the mix if you are thinking of a change.

The company is a well respected, award-winning consultancy with studios in Birmingham and London is investing heavily in its planning capability. They’re building a network of regional hubs and are looking for someone who wants to help shape what comes next. For the right person, the timing couldn’t be better to step into 2026 with purpose and momentum.

No location is off the table. You can be based in Birmingham, London or fully remote. Location is not important, what matters is your skills and the leadership you bring.
