Senior Landscape Architect/Planner

At Ocean to Earth Recruitment, we partner with forward-thinking, values-driven environmental consultancies that are reshaping how the built and natural environments can thrive together. Right now, we’re working with a standout practice that’s offering an exciting opportunity for a Senior Landscape Architect to join their team and make a genuine impact — all while working just 4 days a week, with 100% of the pay.

Why This Role is Different

This is not your typical consultancy. Innovation, courage, and connection drive everything they do. You won’t just be another cog in the machine — you’ll be part of a team where your voice is heard, your ideas are welcomed, and your well-being is a top priority.

They operate on a 4-day working week model, meaning you get 80% of the hours for 100% of the salary, giving you more time to recharge, explore, and live well outside of work. It's a culture built around mutual support, bold thinking, and making a positive difference — for the planet, people, and places.
