Landscape Graduate - 2025 programme

At SLR we believe strongly in the influence of landscape architecture to shape and lead our interaction with the natural and built environment, in a way that is responsible and innovative, helping to tackle the climate emergency and set the agenda for a more sustainable way of living.

The role

Working alongside experienced and passionate landscape architects and designers, the graduate role offers the chance to get involved in wide range of landscape planning, masterplanning and design projects in our multidisciplinary team. You would be involved in a range of projects across various sectors with a focus on natural and built environment. These are located throughout the UK and Ireland, with a range of public and private sector clients, some moving towards implementation and some already on site, providing a depth of experience.
