Not every Landscape Architect gets excited about writing LVIA reports, assessing viewpoints and getting stuck into planning policy. But if that's your thing, we've got an opportunity that could be right up your street.

LEAD Careers are working with a well-established landscape architecture consultancy in Birmingham that's looking for an experienced Senior Landscape Planner to join its team. We're looking for someone who knows their way around an LVIA, can confidently manage projects and enjoys the challenge of helping shape development proposals through the planning process.

You'll be joining a friendly, experienced team where your technical knowledge will be valued, your opinions will be heard, and you'll have the opportunity to get involved in a genuinely interesting mix of projects. And importantly, this isn't a role where you'll simply be churning out reports all day. There's plenty of opportunity to get involved in project discussions, advise clients and have a real influence on the work being delivered.

SENIOR LANDSCAPE PLANNER RESPONSIBILITIES

There's no great mystery here. If you're already working in landscape planning, you'll be familiar with much of what's involved.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing and managing LVIAs, LVAs and TVIAs across a variety of projects
Undertaking landscape character assessments, sensitivity studies and site appraisals
Providing landscape planning advice to clients and wider project teams
Contributing to EIAs and supporting planning applications
Getting out on site to undertake surveys, assess viewpoints and understand the landscape you're writing about
Managing your own projects, keeping things moving and making sure deadlines are met
Working alongside other consultants, planners and environmental specialists
Supporting junior colleagues and sharing your knowledge and experience
Essentially, we're looking for someone who can take a project, run with it and produce high-quality work without needing someone looking over their shoulder every five minutes

SENIOR LANDSCAPE PLANNER IDEAL REQUIREMENTS

Someone that knows their stuff when it comes to LVIA and landscape planning.
Ideally, you'll have:
A degree in Landscape Architecture
Solid experience producing LVIAs and other landscape planning assessments
A good understanding of GLVIA3 and the UK planning system
Strong report-writing skills and an eye for detail
Experience managing projects and dealing directly with clients
The confidence to make decisions, offer advice and take responsibility for your work
A positive attitude and the ability to work well with others
If you're Chartered with the Landscape Institute, fantastic. If you're working towards it and have the right experience, we'd still be keen to hear from you

ON OFFER

Aside from the obvious benefit of spending your days doing something you actually enjoy, there's plenty to like about this opportunity.
A competitive salary that reflects your experience
Hybrid working and a degree of flexibility
An interesting and varied workload
A supportive team of experienced landscape professionals
Opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career
A working environment where collaboration and professional development are encouraged
Oh, and there's also plenty of company socials and a gym on site!

Sign On Bonus Available - All Roles!

We are the only recruitment agency dedicated solely to Landscape Architecture that offers sign on bonuses to candidates who secure roles through us. If you are exploring Landscape Architecture jobs in Manchester, there is now an added incentive for making the move.

Plenty of landscape architects quietly browse Landscape Architecture jobs in Manchester between drawings, LVIA work or Teams calls. Most are not actively applying. They are simply checking if there is something better out there, and if the timing makes sense.

Senior Landscape Architect - London

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 10:59:25 GMT

Role – Senior Landscape Architect
Location – London

Salary - £DOE

Our client, a well-established design studio is looking for a Senior Landscape Architect to join its landscape team. The role is hands-on and design-focused, with real input into the direction of projects rather than sitting in the background. You’ll help shape ideas from early concepts through planning and technical stages alongside people who care about good design and communication.

There are around 34 landscape people split across three offices, so you’ve got others to bounce ideas off and ask questions when needed. Being in the office four days a week also makes life easier. You can just talk things through rather than booking calls for everything

The office is easy to get to via public transport, so commuting is easy. The hybrid setup asks for four days a week in the office and offers good exposure to the wider design teams.

WHAT YOU’D BE DOING

Lots of the good stuff! The work spans residential-led regeneration, mixed-use schemes, parks, courtyards, streets and wider public realm. You’ll collaborate closely with architects and urban designers, contribute to planning submissions, present ideas, review drawings and support juniors as they grow. The studio environment is active and creative and there’s space for your voice to be heard. It’s the kind of environment where you can actually say what you think and help shape the work as it develops.

A Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute (CMLI)
Strong design skills and a solid portfolio
Can communicate clearly with clients, colleagues and stakeholders

The practice has a strong footing in planning-led work, with projects spanning residential, strategic land, mixed-use and infrastructure schemes. The landscape team plays an important role within the wider business, working closely with planners and urban designers, which means you’re involved in projects from an early stage rather than just coming in at the reporting phase.

Contributing to planning submissions and, where required, appeals
Working alongside planners and urban designers on wider project strategies

Getting involved in a mix of landscape planning and some design input

They’re flexible on level, so this could suit someone earlier in their career looking to build confidence and take on more responsibility, or someone more experienced who is comfortable leading on projects and mentoring others.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

Degree in landscape architecture
Experience preparing LVIA work is key
Good understanding of the UK planning system and development process
Ability to manage your own workload and contribute within a team
Clear communication skills, both written and verbal
Chartered status or working towards it would be beneficial, but not essential

ON OFFER

A genuine mix of planning, assessment and some design work
Opportunity to be involved in projects from an early stage
Collaborative working environment with planners and urban designers
Established consultancy with a consistent pipeline of projects
Supportive team with good scope for progression and development
