The Opportunity
We are looking for an Associate Landscape Architect to join our growing Landscape Architecture team and play a key role in delivering high-quality, sustainable projects across the UK.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced landscape professional who is looking to take the next step in their career, broaden their project experience and play an active role in shaping the future of our landscape practice.
You’ll join a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment where landscape architects work closely with planners, ecologists, engineers, architects and other specialists to create places that are sustainable, resilient and enjoyable for people and communities.
Whether you are looking to build on your technical expertise, develop your project leadership skills or take greater responsibility for client relationships and business development, this role provides the platform to do so.
About The Role
As an Associate Landscape Architect, you will contribute to and lead a diverse range of landscape projects, from early-stage feasibility and planning through to detailed design and delivery.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Leading and contributing to landscape architecture projects across a range of sectors and scales.
- Preparing and overseeing high-quality landscape plans, strategies, reports, assessments and design proposals.
- Supporting the delivery of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs) and landscape planning work where required.
- Developing landscape designs from concept through to detailed design and implementation.
- Coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and integrating landscape considerations into wider development proposals.
- Managing project programmes, budgets and resources to support successful delivery.
- Building strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, consultants and internal teams.
- Providing guidance and mentoring to more junior members of the team.
- Supporting bids, fee proposals and other business development opportunities.
- Contributing to the continued growth and development of our Landscape Architecture team.
You’ll have the opportunity to work across a varied portfolio, with projects potentially spanning residential, energy and infrastructure, commercial, education, regeneration and strategic development.
Your Impact
At Stantec, landscape is about more than creating attractive spaces. It is about understanding the relationship between people, communities and the environment and using design to create places that work for the long term.
