This is an exciting opportunity to start your career in a professional practice at a time when the landscape profession is playing a critical role in shaping resilient, sustainable places. At EDP, you’ll be working on strategic development projects with real scope to influence green infrastructure, biodiversity and long-term placemaking outcomes.

As a Graduate Landscape Architect at EDP, you’ll:

• Work closely with experienced and respected Landscape Architects;
• Contribute to landscape strategies, landscape and visual impact assessments, masterplanning and design work;
• Gain exposure to multi-disciplinary projects, collaborating with ecologists, heritage consultants, planners and arboriculturists; and

• An interest in strategic, landscape-led planning and multi-disciplinary design;
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office;
• An eye for detail and strong written communication skills; and
• Experience with GIS software (desirable, but not essential).

Learning and Development

We invest heavily in our people. You’ll benefit from a structured and supportive environment, with access to:

• An extensive internal training programme;
• Opportunities to broaden your knowledge across EDP’s multi-disciplinary services; and
• Support to develop both professionally and personally, as your career progresses.
