Creative Landscapes have been constructing domestic gardens for over 40 years. Our small and flexible design team now needs another member to join them at Whitlenge Gardens in Hartlebury, Worcestershire where you will transform outdoor spaces and oversee exciting domestic projects from start to finish. You will preferably be an experienced designer used to managing their own projects in their entirety, able to take on client management responsibilities once embedded in the team, and helping those clients right through the design and construction process.

The ideal candidate will be supporting the current team of designers and estimators in preparing and submitting quotations/estimates for both hard and soft landscaping work within the domestic market.

If you are looking for a varied role where no two days are the same and where your ideas and initiative are valued, this could be the perfect next step.

Are you a natural leader with a passion for landscaping and designing gardens?

Do you thrive on seeing a project through from first sketch to final planting?

Do you have good plant knowledge?

Do you have a minimum of 4 years of landscape design experience?

What you will bring
