Job Description:

Landscape Architects / Landscape Planners (LVIA Specialists)

Location: Birmingham (but also consider remote for senior Landscape Architects)

Assistant → Senior → Principal opportunities
UK Wide | Hybrid & Remote options available

Assistant / Consultant: £28,000 – £35,000
Landscape Planner / Consultant: £35,000 – £45,000
Senior: £45,000 – £55,000
Principal: £55,000 – £70,000+

I am working with a growing multidisciplinary environmental and planning consultancy, based in Birmingham, who are expanding their Landscape Planning team following a strong pipeline of residential and strategic land development projects across the UK.

They are looking to speak with Landscape Architects and Landscape Planners who actively use LVIA as part of the design and planning process, rather than purely report writing.

This is a particularly good move for candidates who enjoy influencing masterplanning decisions early in the planning lifecycle.

The Role

You would be joining an established planning and environmental team in Birmingham, supporting major residential and strategic development schemes, including new settlements and large-scale planning applications.

Your work would typically involve:

• Landscape & Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA)

• Townscape & Visual Impact Assessments (TVIA)

• Landscape capacity appraisals

• Green Belt reviews

• Viewpoint and site analysis

• Planning strategy and mitigation advice

• Collaboration with planners, ecologists, and urban designers

• Client meetings and project workshops

This is not just a desk-based reporting role — the position sits within the design and planning process and offers real project influence.

What They’re Looking For

• Experience producing LVIAs (essential)

• Strong understanding of the UK planning system

• Residential or strategic land development experience (ideal)

• Ability to manage projects or contribute to project delivery

• Good written communication and report writing

• CAD and/or Adobe Creative Suite

• GIS (desirable but not essential)

Qualifications

• Landscape Institute-accredited degree in Landscape Architecture

• CMLI or working towards CMLI

• UK driving licence (for site work)

Why Consider the Move?

• Major national planning and development projects

• Clear pathway to Senior / Principal level

• Mentoring and leadership opportunities

• Involvement in masterplanning decisions (not just assessment)

• Flexible working structure

Locations:
Hybrid options across England (multiple offices) plus remote working considered.

Typical salary ranges currently seen in the market:

Assistant / Consultant: £28,000 – £35,000
Landscape Planner / Consultant: £35,000 – £45,000
Senior: £45,000 – £55,000
Principal: £55,000 – £70,000+

The consultancy works on a wide range of planning and development projects and is expanding due to sustained project demand and growth rather than replacement hiring.
