Working within a dynamic Landscape Planning team, you will take a leading role in shaping development proposals from early feasibility through to planning submission.
This is a varied and hands-on role offering exposure to a broad portfolio of projects. You’ll work collaboratively with in-house ecology, arboriculture and green infrastructure specialists, while maintaining strong client and stakeholder relationships.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute to project bidding and early-stage strategy development.
