What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced Landscape Architect (Bedford) position at The Landscape Partnership?
Experienced Landscape Architect
The Landscape Partnership is looking for a Chartered Landscape Architect to join our team.
We are keen to hear from ambitious, experienced Landscape Architects who bring energy and enthusiasm to their work. Strong creative and technical skills are essential, along with the ability to operate efficiently and independently, under guidance, as well as being part of a collaborative team.
The position will be based within our Bedford office team, whilst also working (primarily remotely) with our London team. We are currently operating a hybrid working system, with a minimum of three days in the office and the remainder potentially available, by agreement, for working from home.
The role will lead to involvement in a wide range of project types at all stages of the design and implementation process. Opportunities may arise which require involvement in projects with our other teams based in Norfolk and Suffolk. The current project portfolio includes a diverse range of projects across different sectors, including public realm, recreation, commercial, education, care, strategic and detailed residential schemes (including high density), renewable energy and green infrastructure projects.
Requirements
We offer the opportunity to join a friendly and committed team of multi-discipline professionals and a supportive working environment. Benefits include a voluntary work place pension, ‘Cyclescheme’, a starting allowance of 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) payment of professional memberships and a programme of CPD.
Applicants should forward CVs and examples of work, including free-hand sketches, with a covering email explaining why you are applying, to bedford@tlp.uk.com or phone Daniel Theakstone on 01234 261 315 if you would like an informal chat about the position.
