Equal Opportunities

At Transport for Wales we value diversity. It makes us stronger, helps us understand our customers better, make better decisions and be more innovative. Everyone's different and has their own perspective so we're building a diverse team that mirrors the communities we serve. Through this we're determined to be one of Wales' leading inclusive employers. We're creating an inclusive transport network that everyone in Wales can be proud of.

Who we are

At Transport for Wales, we're on a mission to transform transport in Wales and make it fit for the future, whether that's rail, bus, walking or cycling. We want to inspire a nation to change the way it travels, so that we all travel more sustainably and help to combat the climate emergency we're all facing.

We're an open and inclusive place to work, where everyone is welcome and our people are supported to reach their full potential. We want to create an environment where our people can grow and succeed. This is key to enabling us to deliver on the promises we've made to the people of Wales to build a sustainable transport network that meets their needs.

Role responsibilities

The Senior Landscape Architect will be responsible for designing and delivering a range of landscape design and active travel infrastructure projects, working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, in order to enhance the daily experience of the public realm for people choosing to walk, wheel, and cycle on everyday trips in Wales.

  • Creating and developing imaginative, landscape design proposals by drafting concept and detailed designs that are responsive to the local landscape character and context with reference to relevant design guidance, legislation and frameworks to enable and inspire people to travel actively and sustainably
  • Develop and refine design proposals by engaging with local communities and collaborating with partners, and stakeholders to address diverse needs and aspirations whilst also meeting scheme objectives
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of policies and design guidance including planning policies and the Active Travel Act Guidance by gathering, sharing and applying best practice from projects across the TfW team and local authority partners to improve the quality, cost and experience of using active travel infrastructure in Wales.
  • Promote and advocate for high quality landscape design by providing advice and guidance both internally and externally to create environments that inspire people to travel actively and sustainably

Who we're looking for

  • Degree or post-graduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture/Design or associated discipline or equivalent experience.
  • Experience of working within a multi-disciplinary team to deliver landscape/urban design projects in the public realm.
  • Experience of using design software including digital graphics / drawing packages such as Adobe Creative Cloud and AutoCAD.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills suitable for technical and non-technical audiences.

Welsh Language Skills

The ability to speak/write Welsh would make a great addition to your application, but it is not essential for this role.

Transport for Wales supports and promotes the use of the Welsh Language by employees and will encourage them to develop, improve and maintain their Welsh Language skills. We fully support our people who want to improve their Welsh language skills, and personal development for Welsh Language skills are offered in a variety of ways such as online learning, classroom courses and funding attendance at local community courses.
