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.

Our Graduate Programme has been designed to attract the most agile and inquisitive minds to join our team and collaborate on diverse projects across the country and our wider global SLR network. We want to help you find your own voice within the world of design and are dedicated to providing learning initiatives and mentorship that support your personal and professional development.

We aim to introduce you to project and client work early on, maximising your performance in your role and kick-starting your career, whilst providing hands-on support and mentorship at all stages.
