The Opportunity?

Do you have a strength in landscape planning? Well, we’re seeking Landscape Architects and environmental professionals to join our multi-disciplinary Team, based at either our Elkstone, Cheltenham or Cardiff offices.

Who are EDP?

We’re The Environmental Dimension Partnership Ltd but most people know us as EDP. We’re a highly regarded environmental planning and design consultancy with a reputation for delivering a high-quality service for our clients.

We’re proud of our welcoming culture (The EDP Way), which promotes a diverse and inclusive workplace where every member of the team contributes and we all individually have a role to play.

Whatever we do – whether we’re focusing on development or the environment ¬– we make it our business to create positive change, for our people, our clients and the places we help to shape. For example, as well as seeking to make a difference at a project level, we offset the personal carbon footprint of everyone within the team.

The Role

We are looking for talented, enthusiastic and highly organised team players to join the growing Landscape team, working across a range of project sizes, types and complexities including world class leisure facilities, new settlements and renewable energy projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to develop professional skills and technical ability, working closely with our existing team of experienced and respected Landscape Architects and the wider EDP team.

You will share our desire to create environmentally-responsive and exceptional places; and be at the leading edge of professional best practice. This will include an involvement in LVA/LVIA, ES Chapters, Landscape Management Plans and Landscape strategy documents.

We’re an equal opportunities employer, so we’re delighted to offer family friendly and flexible working arrangements which can include a mix of office and home working.

Your Skills

Of course, we’ll need you to have all the right qualifications and experience – excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must. But to enjoy your time at EDP, you’ll also need to be personable, passionate, and proactive. We’re a friendly bunch but we do work hard.

  • A confident professional with drive and ambition;
  • An interest in multi-disciplinary planning with a desire to develop expert skills in strategic landscape design and planning;
  • A client focussed team player who is decisive in nature and takes great pride in their project work;
  • Excellent interpersonal communication skills which are essential;
  • Excellent report writing skills/written communication with an eye for detail;
  • Ideally you will have experience of working with GIS software. 

You’ll need to hold a full, valid UK driving licence.

Learning and Development

We’ll always invest in our people and have excellent learning and development opportunities for all our team members. This includes an extensive internal training programme to expand knowledge of our multi-disciplinary projects and roles within these. So, you can be confident you’ll grow and develop both personally and professionally when you join us. We also provide support for candidates on the Landscape Institute’s Pathway to Chartership or Experienced Route to Technician and other training needs.

EDP Benefits

We offer a very competitive benefits package, which includes:

  • 5% employer pension contributions
  • Private health insurance
  • Life assurance
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 30 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays and birthday holiday)
  • TOIL system
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Profit share bonus scheme
  • Carbon offsetting for every employee
  • Up to 2 professional subscriptions
  • and much more.

We will be reviewing applications as they are received, with the intention to appoint as soon as possible.
