Project Landscape Architect/ Senior Landscape Architect sought to join the Leeds studio of Planit-IE.
Our newly established studio in Leeds is situated in the city centre and soon to be located in the heart of the historic ‘Temple District’.

Recently completed projects include the redefined setting to the Corn Exchange, Sovereign Bridge Footbridge and Meadow Lane Green Space.

A tight knit studio of passionate designers awaits and provides the potential for sustained career growth.

We are on the journey to becoming a carbon zero business by 2030 and through our membership of the B Lab Global Climate Collective we are collaborating with change makers both within and outside of the traditional built environment businesses.
