The Opportunity
We’re looking for a driven Landscaping Project Manager to lead projects delivered through third-party contractors, supporting and complementing our in-house landscaping teams.

You’ll join the senior team, contributing to long-term strategic growth and sharing in our success. You could come from a range of backgrounds, either as a landscape site manager, as a landscape designer with project management expertise, or from a more commercial role- what is important is a can-do attitude, the ability to take ownership for problem solving, and to be a self starter

* Selecting and managing contractors with a sharp eye for quality and delivery
* Acting as the point of contact for clients, contractors, consultants and suppliers
* Working closely with our internal teams to ensure seamless project delivery

What We’re Looking For
* Significant hands-on experience project managing high-end landscaping or garden projects
* A proven track record in programme management, budgeting, and delivery
* Confidence in selecting, briefing and overseeing third-party contractors
* Excellent communication skills—you’ll liaise with clients, suppliers and design teams
* Outstanding organisational skills: contracts, RFIs, cost reports, site reports—you’ve got it covered
* A collaborative and forward-thinking attitude with an eye on commercial growth
What We Offer
* A senior role within an ambitious, supportive team
* A unique opportunity to shape a growing part of the business and use your drive and skills to shape your future
* Opportunities for career development and long-term reward
* A portfolio of beautiful, design-led projects in some of the UK’s most prestigious settings
