Joining Ramboll means contributing to cutting-edge projects that integrate landscape architecture with sustainability goals, offering a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change while working with a diverse, multidisciplinary team.

About This Role

As a Senior Landscape Architect, you'll lead landscape inputs on high-profile projects, from green infrastructure strategies to LVIA assessments. Your work will directly influence sustainable design outcomes and mentor junior staff, fostering the next generation of landscape professionals. This role is pivotal in integrating ecological and aesthetic considerations into Ramboll's decarbonization initiatives.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a team stand-up to review project milestones, followed by preparing graphic materials for a green infrastructure report. You could then mentor a junior architect on using GIS for site analysis, and later join a multidisciplinary meeting to align landscape design with decarbonization goals. Afternoons often involve reviewing fee proposals or refining design strategies using Revit.
