Launch Your Career in Landscape & Environmental Impact Assessment

No Experience? No Problem! Full Training Provided

Do you have a degree in Geography, Environmental Design, Environmental Planning/Management, GIS/Geospatial Science, Urban Planning, or a related field? Your academic background has already equipped you with valuable skills that can be applied to a rewarding and fun career in the landscape architecture industry.

This is a great chance to work on projects that shape both the natural and built environment while contributing to sustainability and environmental progress. You’ll specialise in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs), which involve evaluating how proposed developments such as renewable energy sites, housing, or transport infrastructure might affect landscapes and views. LVIAs play a vital role in ensuring that projects align with environmental legislation, support net-zero goals, and promote sustainable development.

With a diverse mix of desk-based work and outdoor site visits to locations with stunning scenery, this is a career that balances technical expertise with opportunities to experience the natural world.

If you have one of these degrees, your experience in research, spatial analysis, and report writing perfectly forms the foundation needed for conducting landscape assessments. Analytical thinking and attention to detail are essential for evaluating environmental impacts and preparing high-quality reports. If you have an interest in geography, sustainability, and environmental planning, then a career in landscape planning is a fantastic choice for you!

What´s in it for you?

1. Competitive Pay: A salary package that reflects your skills and potential in a market desperate to bring in the right people.
2. Flexible Working: Once trained, those working in landscape planning enjoy a hybrid work week for a great work-life balance.
