Continue reading to find out why you should consider enhancing your landscape architecture career at AtkinsRéalis in Saudi Arabia.
Take part in large-scale projects
Saudi Arabia is experiencing a rapid influx of large-scale projects, also called Giga Projects, which offer exciting prospects for innovative landscape architects. The Red Sea Project, for example, secured a huge green financing investment and is the first of its type to be executed in riyals.
Due for completion in 2030, the giga-project will span across 22 islands that form an eye-catching archipelago on Saudi Arabia’s west coast and offer 50 luxury hotels. The project is setting new boundaries for innovation and sustainability by running completely on renewable energy, being 100% carbon-neutral and adhering to a zero waste-to-landfill policy.
Projects such as these offer a wealth of opportunities for talented and ambitious landscape architects. Saudi Arabia’s drive for a sustainable future means that these large projects will require intricate external design, producing a spike in demand for landscape architecture skills.
Accelerate the drive to improve quality of life
When it comes to working on the built environment, there is a range of projects for which the involvement of landscape architects is crucial. These include recreational projects such as parks, museums and open exhibitions. These projects provide a host of economical and social benefits all designed to improve the quality of life of Saudi Arabians.
Saudi Arabia’s Quality of Life Program was created in 2018 with the aim of enhancing the lifestyles of residents and visitors to the Kingdom. The goal is to achieve this by developing an environment that offers vibrant options and encourages citizens and residents to take advantage of the fantastic benefits that it will offer.
Enhancement of the quality of life of Saudi natives represents a substantial portion of the nation’s 2030 vision and landscape architects will play a key role in the movement. This fantastic program offers an excellent opportunity for landscape architects who have a passion for making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
