What you'll get back
What you'll find is a welcoming, people-focused culture that is committed to driving forward projects, adding real environmental value to development proposals, and securing planning consents for our clients. We are open and supportive of innovation, and as an EOT and small business we have the flexibility and ambition to push forward with any ideas you have.
Our client is an award-winning multi-disciplinary consultancy, originally founded in 1999 by dual-qualified Landscape Architect/Planner. This ethos of taking a landscape-led approach to our project delivery continues to this day. We want our Landscape Architects to have the confidence to take the lead on guiding our Planners, our EIA Specialists and our clients towards finding the best sites and adopting the best strategy from the outset to secure consents.
They provide great opportunities for career progression, highly competitive salaries, annual bonuses, and a range of working benefits including pension contributions, private healthcare, and payment of professional fees.
They have become adept at flexible working and embrace people wanting to work from home for part of the time, as well as from our offices in Chester (Bretton) and Manchester (Wilmslow). They recognise the importance of a healthy work-life balance amongst all our colleagues and regularly review our ways of working to improve this.
To secure our long-term future as an independent consultancy, we've recently become an Employee Ownership Trust. The company is managed in the interests of all colleagues and there are specific benefits associated with Trust status including tax free bonuses. You'll be able to take an active part in the life of the company from day one.
