  • Strong background as a Landscape Architect / Landscape Planner or a professional from a related discipline with transferable skills.
  • Excellent report-writing, presentation, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Strong technical competence and proven delivery experience.
  • Ability to support ongoing work and identify new opportunities.
  • A proactive approach with a keen interest in exploring new places, understanding new technologies, and working independently.
  • Willingness to travel across the UK, including remote locations.
  • Experience managing and delivering Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA), from feasibility to mitigation strategies.
  • Experience with related aspects of LVIA, including Seascape, Townscape, and Visual Impact Assessments.
  • Degree or postgraduate qualification in landscape or a related field.
  • Experience writing and contributing to fee bids and securing new work.
  • Client-facing experience and ability to collaborate with external team members.
  • Proficiency in Word and Excel for producing high-quality reports and tenders.
  • A valid driving licence and competency in fieldwork and photography.

Desirable:

  • Experience in one or more of the following:
  • Landscape Character Assessment (LCA)
  • Landscape Sensitivity Studies (LSS)
  • Green Infrastructure Strategies
  • Assessment and management of protected landscapes
  • Planning for future landscapes and climate change response
  • Landscape design principles and guidance
  • Knowledge of LVIA viewpoint photography and visualisation production processes.
  • Experience with renewable energy infrastructure and wind farm design software.
