Landscape Architect

As a Landscape Architect, your responsibilities will include creating plans, designs, and drawings using computer-aided design programs. You will be surveying sites and advising on matters related to environmental conservation. It will be crucial for you to discuss requirements with clients, write reports, and produce contracts and estimated costs. You will be presenting proposals to clients for approval and agreeing on time-scales. Overseeing projects as they progress and seeking the opinions of locals, businesses, and other users of the site will be part of your duties. Additionally, you will be liaising with other professionals such as architects, surveyors, town planners, and civil engineers. In this role, you will confer with clients, engineers, and building architects to understand project requirements. You will prepare site plans, specifications, and cost estimates while coordinating the arrangement of existing and proposed land features and structures. Using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) software, you will create graphic representations of proposed plans. It will be your responsibility to select appropriate materials for use in landscape designs and analyse environmental reports on land conditions, including drainage and energy usage. Inspecting landscape work to ensure adherence to original plans and seeking new projects through marketing or presentations will also be part of your role.,
