Do you want to play a key role in the development of thriving communities? Enjoy collaborating on exciting projects to help deliver outstanding development initiatives? Passionate about mentoring and guiding others?

As a Landscape Planning professional, no two days will be the same. You’ll take responsibility for producing high-quality reports while maintaining close client relationships—ensuring projects remain on budget, on schedule, and, most importantly, exceed expectations.

Your role will be pivotal in integrating landscape considerations into our client’s development plans.

While the tasks may seem traditional, our client approaches challenges with creativity and innovation, always seeking fresh perspectives. If you thrive in a fast-paced, energetic environment and love diving into new challenges, this is the role for you.

Expect variety in your work. You'll be balancing exciting projects where you can make a tangible impact while also supporting cross-disciplinary teams. Adaptability is key—sometimes, you’ll need to change plans with the weather! But rest assured, there will be moments of reflection too. One thing’s for certain—no two days will ever be the same.

And here’s the best part—our client operates on a four-day working week, meaning you’ll have every Friday off to recharge and enjoy a better work-life balance!
