Landscape Architect | Project Landscape Architect

Overview

Be part of something where your ideas make a difference.
At Enplan, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Landscape Architect to join our growing team. Whether you’re a Graduate, Landscape Architect or Project Landscape Architect, we’re interested in hearing from people who are passionate about landscape, design and the built environment, and want to play an active role in shaping the places where people live, work and spend time.
As a small, friendly and collaborative practice, we offer something a little different. You’ll work directly alongside our Landscape and Planning Directors and senior team on a day-to-day basis, with the opportunity to contribute to projects from the outset, take responsibility and see your ideas put into practice. We value people who are willing to get involved, think creatively and bring fresh perspectives. In a small team, everyone’s contribution makes a difference.

A varied role, with room to grow:
No two days are the same at Enplan. We work across a broad range of projects, scales and sectors, offering the opportunity to gain experience across the different disciplines of Landscape Architecture and develop a genuinely rounded skillset.

Our work spans the full breadth of the profession and we believe the best solutions come from understanding how these different disciplines connect. You’ll have the opportunity to work across design, planning and assessment, developing an appreciation of the bigger picture and helping us deliver well-considered, integrated solutions for our clients.

The opportunity:
Our recent work has included:
• Strategic masterplanning and large-scale residential developments, including Local Plan promotion and site allocation.
• Landscape planning, including LVIA, landscape appraisals, planning applications and appeals.
• Landscape strategies, design codes and masterplans for developments of varying scales.
• Concept and detailed landscape design for residential, educational and institutional projects.
• Landscape engineering, flood defence and green infrastructure projects.
• Technical design, construction packages and site support through to implementation.
• Planting design and landscape schemes across a diverse range of projects.
• Providing landscape advice and design review services to Local Authorities.
This breadth of work means you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in projects at every stage, work with a variety of clients and consultants, and build experience across the many facets of Landscape Architecture.

Who we’re looking for:
We’re looking for someone who is curious, proactive and keen to get stuck in. Someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is willing to try new things and is enthusiastic about learning and developing their skills. You’ll be comfortable taking initiative, sharing ideas and getting involved in different aspects of our work.

You’ll ideally have:
Essential skills and requirements:
• A degree or postgraduate qualification in Landscape Architecture
• Good working knowledge of AutoCAD.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Good general IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a car.
• A positive, adaptable attitude and enthusiasm for developing your skills and experience.

Desirable skills and experience (not essential):
• Experience or an understanding of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA).
• 3D modelling and visualisation skills.
• Confident hand sketching and graphic communication.
• Knowledge of construction detailing and technical landscape design.
• Experience working across landscape design and planning.

Your development:
We want to help you develop your career and reach your potential. Working closely with experienced senior staff and Directors, you’ll have the opportunity to build your technical knowledge, design skills and professional experience across a wide range of projects.
For those working towards professional accreditation, we’ll provide support and guidance through the Landscape Institute’s Pathway to Chartership.
