A highly respected, multidisciplinary landscape practice in Birmingham is looking for an experienced Senior or Associate Landscape Architect to join their 35+ strong team. Established over 13 years ago, the studio has built a national reputation for delivering innovative and sustainable design solutions that bridge landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. Their work spans some of the largest and most sustainable settlements in the UK, alongside residential, urban regeneration, and detailed public realm projects.

- Work closely with directors and senior team members to maintain design excellence.
- Engage confidently with clients, consultants, and stakeholders.

The studio is known for its friendly, social culture, with regular events, a social committee, field trips, and team days all contributing to a positive, connected atmosphere.
The directors are highly engaged in projects and committed to personal development, offering structured support and encouraging progression within the business. Regular one-to-one mentorship sessions provide ongoing opportunities for growth and reflection.
What’s on Offer:
- Hybrid working and flexible hours.
- Competitive salary with company-dependent bonuses.
- A sociable, supportive, and design-led working culture.
- Clear pathways for development and internal promotion.
- Monthly mentor–mentee sessions and guidance from hands-on directors.
