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’. Surrounded by our recently completed and ongoing schemes, it is walking distance to the city’s many changing areas and neighbourhoods. Our work sits within, and is helping define, many of these. Current projects include Aire Park, a mixed-use district with an expansive new city park at its centre, regeneration projects within the Temple District and residential schemes in the South Bank Area. Recently completed projects include the redefined setting to the Corn Exchange, Sovereign Bridge Footbridge and Meadow Lane Green Space.
Leeds is an exciting and rapidly changing city and we have chosen to grow our new studio to support that change.
Specialising in both landscape architecture and urban design you’ll be working on career defining projects that will help shape the future of the city and wider region for future generations. You’ll be actively engaged in delivering exceptional city park and public realm schemes whilst also contributing to the studio culture and mentoring younger colleagues. A tight knit studio of passionate designers awaits and provides the potential for sustained career growth.
As the first B Corp of our profession in the world, we have a duty to practice what we preach, with a commitment to people and planet sitting equally alongside our better business aims. 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.
You will be joining Planit at an exciting period having realised our goal to become an Employee-Owned practice last year which provides a great opportunity for all team members to participate in ensuring the long-term legacy for the business.
