Landscape Architect

Design Lead

• Chester / Manchester / Newcastle

The role and what you'll do

Our landscape team is looking to add an ambitious landscape architect who will develop and manage our portfolio of landscape design projects as Design Lead. Candidates need to have a strong working knowledge of landscape design at a range of scales and across all work stages.

We are looking for someone who will consolidate and grow our existing landscape design team and expand our current portfolio and client base.

Axis has an established landscape design workload which stems largely from providing support to our planning and landscape planning colleagues – providing masterplanning and mitigation design for major infrastructure projects. Axis also supports a number of engineering consultancies in providing flood defence design support for the Environment Agency.

Qualities & attributes

• Chartered Landscape Architect
• Strong experience in landscape design and implementation
• Experience of managing projects from concept to delivery on site and working to quality, time and budget demands
• Good communicator and able to work closely with clients as well as the internal teams at Axis
• Practical experience of the internal structures, relationships and processes of the Environment Agency is not essential but would be an advantage

What you'll get back

Axis provides 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.

We 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), Manchester (Wilmslow) and Newcastle. We 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.
