Tyler Grange are looking for talented Landscape Architects with 3-5 years of professional experience to join our Green Infrastructure and Landscape Design team.
Our multi-award winning environmental consultancy established 14 years ago, is a B-Corp, 4 day week company with a team of 80+ in 7 different offices, and an exciting range of projects across the UK. By working collaboratively, our expert teams in ecology, arboriculture, landscape planning and green/blue infrastructure (G&BI), deliver exceptional projects which aim to make a positive difference in the world.
As Landscape Architects at TG, we approach each project by thinking creatively with a holistic, integrated process, to develop the best outcomes for nature and people. That includes nature-led design, green and blue infrastructure, multi-functional, adaptive and resilient designs for public green spaces, informed by an evidence-led approach and environmental sustainability principles. Our projects vary in scale and setting, extending across many sectors.
At TG we offer a friendly and supportive workplace within each of our offices. Our teams work with an integrated approach in arboriculture, ecology, landscape planning and green/blue infrastructure and design allowing us to deliver high quality, site-specific projects for our clients – and this also offers plenty of opportunities to learn, expand your skills and stretch ourselves. We encourage a sociable and creative working environment, promote professional development and offer a competitive salary, pension scheme, opportunities to participate in our all-TG Syllabus learning programmes and you can access to up to 2 professional subscriptions.
Ideally the role is based in our London Office alongside our G&BI Director, but Manchester Birmingham or Bristol offices may be suitable. We are an environmental consultancy getting the life/work balance right as we work a 4-day work week. For two days per week, we like to be in the office or have face-to-face contact with our colleagues on-site, because we know from experience that some of the most valuable learning is unscheduled and comes from being right in the middle of the action. TG offers commitment to our core values and offers a range of benefits including Life Insurance, EV scheme and Mental Health support and supported volunteering opportunities.
Is this role right for you?
We’re looking for talented, creative and enthusiastic landscape architects, with experience running landscape design projects, through LI/RIBA design stages, ideally within inter-disciplinary design teams. With our focus on green and blue infrastructure and designs with holistic environmental purpose, we would also love to hear from you about your interests and motivations for delivering projects for clients, which connect people and nature, incorporate co-benefits and ecosystems services, climate adaptive and resilient design strategies.
Your typical day to day tasks could include: Producing and overseeing design work as part of the team, preparation of green/blue infrastructure plans, landscape masterplans, graphics, design drawings tailored to different design stages, preparation of clear and concise reports, participating in team meetings, project reviews and team workshops, carrying out site surveys, planning workflows as part of the team, so that we can deliver on time, and finding time to support and help out with team tasks.
