Role: Senior Landscape Planner
Location: Manchester
Salary: £DOE
Our client, a well‑established landscape architecture studio, is looking for a Senior Landscape Planner to take real ownership of its planning and LVIA work from its Manchester office. The projects are interesting and the studio seeks someone who genuinely enjoys the planning side of landscape and wants the space to shape how it is done.
As the Lead Landscape Planner you will be the person people turn to when planning matters. You will set the tone, lead the assessments, and help the wider team think more clearly about how landscape and planning work together.
Responsibilities
* Leading LVIA work from early thinking through to submission
* Helping shape planning strategy alongside designers rather than commenting at the end
* Talking directly with clients and planning officers
* Improving how reports are written, reviewed and presented
* Supporting others who want to improve in planning and assessment
About You
* You already know LVIA and planning inside out
* You are comfortable having an opinion and explaining it
* You prefer clarity over corporate process and want to be part of a studio where planning has a real voice rather than being an afterthought
* You do not need to be sold the idea of landscape planning; ideally you are already doing it and wondering where the next step is
On Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Pension contribution or workplace pension enrolment
* Support for professional development
* Flexible or hybrid working arrangements where appropriate
* Well‑being support
The culture is friendly and down to earth, with a real focus on looking after people, supporting one another and creating a place where everyone feels involved and valued.
