About The Role
We are seeking an experienced Landscape Architect (5–10 years’ professional experience) to take a leading role in the planning, design, and delivery of high-quality landscape projects. This position offers the opportunity to shape innovative, sustainable outdoor environments that respond to site constraints, policy requirements, and client aspirations. You will lead the development and presentation of design concepts, prepare detailed drawings and reports (including Design and Access Statements), and oversee the production and quality of technical information. Working closely with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams, you will manage project workflows, contribute to tender processes, and support successful project delivery through to site completion, including monitoring quality and compliance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In addition to project leadership, you will play a key role in team development and business operations – mentoring junior staff, contributing to internal management, and supporting business development initiatives. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will regularly present to clients, lead consultations, and coordinate with consultants, contractors, and suppliers. You should be confident working independently on complex projects while fostering a collaborative studio environment. Membership of the Landscape Institute (LI) is required, and candidates must be actively working towards Chartership. This role is ideal for a motivated professional looking to step into greater leadership, influence project outcomes, and contribute to the strategic growth of a dynamic practice.
About You
- Experienced Landscape Architect (minimum 5+ years)
- Landscape Institute chartership (CMLI) preferred, or currently working toward chartership
- Strong experience across all RIBA/LI work stages
- Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office
- A collaborative mindset with a passion for design excellence
