Role – Senior Landscape Architect
Location – Worcestershire
Salary - £DOE
Our client is a well-established, multidisciplinary environmental consultancy delivering landscape planning and design services across the UK. They are looking for a Senior Landscape Architect to play a key role in leading projects from early feasibility through to detailed design and planning, working closely with ecologists, planners and environmental specialists. The work is varied and often complex, covering residential, infrastructure, energy and mixed-use developments. The role would suit someone comfortable balancing technical delivery with client interaction, and keen to work on projects where landscape, ecology and planning are closely integrated.
The office is well positioned for access from across the Midlands and surrounding areas, making it a practical option for commuters. It’s within easy reach of Birmingham, Worcester, Cheltenham and Gloucester, with strong road connections via the M5 corridor. There are also nearby train stations providing links into Birmingham and wider national routes. Given the nature of the work, including site visits, having access to a car is likely to be beneficial.
