Led by one of the UK’s most renowned landscape designers, this highly respected practice has built an international reputation for delivering bold, contemporary landscapes. Their portfolio spans prestigious private estates, public realm projects, and large-scale commercial developments — all characterised by strong design vision, exceptional planting design, and a commitment to sustainability.

In this role, you will:

• Lead on planting design for large-scale commercial schemes, ensuring designs are both creative and practical.
• Advise on plant selection, sourcing, and specifications to suit a range of environments and project requirements.
• Collaborate closely with landscape architects, contractors, and suppliers to deliver planting schemes from concept through to completion.
• Contribute to the studio’s design ethos and uphold high standards of quality and sustainability.

What they’re looking for:

• Strong horticultural knowledge and experience in large-scale commercial planting design.
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a creative design team.
• Experience of delivering high-end projects, with an eye for quality and detail.
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Suitable for candidates at various levels, provided they have the technical expertise to excel in this role.

Why join them?

• Work with an internationally recognised, award-winning practice on high-profile projects across the UK and overseas.
• Be part of a collaborative and creative team where your ideas and contributions are valued.
• Enjoy a supportive working environment with opportunities to grow and develop.
• Benefit from flexible working arrangements — the studio is based near Brighton, but open to candidates based elsewhere in the South East.

If you have the planting expertise and creative drive to help deliver exceptional landscapes, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping inspiring, high-end spaces.
