Project Landscape Architect / Senior Landscape Architect
Greater Manchester
Project Landscape Architect / Senior Landscape Architect sought to join the Altrincham studio of Planit-IE.
Planit-IE has developed within Greater Manchester, and the Altrincham studio is the practice’s headquarters. Whether working with the communities of East Manchester to create a district of global significance, or striving to repair our beloved hometown of Altrincham, we are part of the city and its growing creative community.
We have designed new city centre squares, public realm and connecting streetscapes at First Street North and within the Co-operative’s historic estate at Sadler’s Yard, NOMA. We are redesigning Albert's Square, the city’s primary public space in the Town Hall’s foreground and were co-masterplanners and Landscape Architects for Circle Square, the new mixed-use redevelopment of the former BBC site at the heart of the City’s Corridor initiative. Our work extends widely throughout the surrounding region, from urban to rural environs, developing opportunities for community benefit and reconnection to nature at Pennington Flash and Northern Roots, the UK’s largest urban farm and eco-park project in Oldham.
You’ll be working on career defining projects that will help shape the future of the city and wider region for future generations and will be actively engaged in delivering exceptional public realm schemes.
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, as we continue to collectively take forward our B Corp aspirations and ambitions and realise our goal to become an Employee-Owned practice this year.
