LVIA Specialist
The Opportunity
TEP prepares landscape and visual assessments to a range of clients for EIA and non-EIA developments. Our LVIA are prepared to a method which is guided by the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Third Edition (GLVIA 3). Our projects are diverse and include infrastructure and renewable energy development, residential and mixed-use schemes and regeneration and leisure developments. Our LVIA specialists work with developers to achieve the best solution and TEP's in-house design team to prepare landscape mitigation schemes, visualisations, verified photomontages and Zone of Theoretical Visibility mapping.
We also undertake landscape character assessments (LCA), sensitivity and capacity assessments, and the assessment of development site allocations for local authorities. Clear communication and good presentation of results are required. Our work may lead to presentation of our assessments as evidence at public inquiry and our work may become important parts of the Local Plan evidence base.
Due to several exciting new projects and a long-term workstream we are recruiting landscape architects with experience in landscape and visual assessment. If you would like to work in a forward-thinking, friendly team who care about the environment please get in touch. We offer diverse project work, a great work-life balance, training opportunities and an excellent overall employment package.
The Role and Requirements
We are looking for candidates with a degree and/or post-graduate qualification in Landscape Architecture or another relevant discipline with experience in undertaking and co-ordinating landscape assessment of development proposals, landscape character assessments and preparing landscape evidence for local planning authorities to inform future local plans.
We are interested in candidates with a range of experience and at varying stages of their career development. A keen interest in landscape planning and assessment is essential along with demonstrable skills in analysis, well written concise report-writing, problem-solving, mitigation design, communication, and stakeholder consultation.
An important part of a senior role is managing projects for clients, reporting clearly and developing strong relationships. High quality work needs to be delivered to programme and within budget to achieve successful sustainable development. You may be asked to be asked to help mentor and develop junior staff on projects. You will be well-supported by colleagues and encouraged to innovate where appropriate to enhance our delivery.
You would be expected to travel from time to time, including staying overnight at different locations, to meet the requirements of projects. We envisage that this will be a full-time role for a working week of 37.5 hours, although we are willing to consider flexible part time working arrangements.
