#AmazingProjects

There are only a few professions which allow you to be story tellers and appeal so directly to people's emotions and senses and there aren`t many practices which will actively encourage you to do so. Atkins Landscape is one of those practices. Take a look at our projects and our people and join our team.

I’m an Associate Landscape Architect and lead our Northern Landscape Team which covers Warrington, Manchester and Leeds.

I have led the design and delivery of a varied portfolio of projects across the UK, focusing on designing places for people and nature. Particular project highlights include the design study for Hillsborough Castle (the King’s official residence in Northern Ireland), International Design Competition entries and successful shortlistings, and Morecambe and Fairhaven Promenades.

I am responsible for project delivery, team development, line management, recruitment and supporting future project opportunities and workload forecasting.

I enjoy spending time outdoors with my three young sons, especially family time in the Lake District. I’m currently working my way through the challenge of completing all of the 214 Wainwright Fells! Being able to work flexibly around my family has enabled my progression and development into a leadership role, it’s been brilliant.

I’m a Principal Landscape Architect based in our Warrington office; and over the last 10 years I’ve delivered landscape and urban design projects across the UK with a focus in the north of England and Scotland.

From high-profile public realm projects to waterfront developments and neighbourhood renewal schemes, I’ve developed wide-ranging project experience designing bespoke solutions for both public and private sector clients. Most recently I led an award-winning major coastal protection and public realm project in Morecambe and also delivered a new public square in Edinburgh’s new town. Currently I’m working as part of a multi-disciplinary team on the transformative Leeds Bishopgate project; this £32million redevelopment of Leeds station seeks to radically reorganise the frontage of the station, providing high quality public realm and active travel linkages for nearly 30m annual passengers, as part of the Leeds-wide Active Travel agenda.

I love my mentoring role within the business and have supported junior members of the team through their professional chartership. I also champion links with our international colleagues and recently had the opportunity to attend a knowledge-sharing workshop with our rapidly growing team in Bangalore, India.

I’ve been at Atkins for two years and am an Assistant Landscape Architect. So far, I’ve worked on a diverse range of projects at various scales which have developed my design skills ranging from designing the public realm, masterplanning for developing towns in different parts of the world, and involvement in tourism, entertainment industry and linear infrastructure projects.

I’ve produced varied technical detail, from urban greening factor calculations, supporting a Listed Building Consent Application, rights of way sections, construction detailing, 3D arboriculture models and developing green link ideas by deploying sustainable urban drainage solutions on projects.

People at Atkins empower and support one another. My team has supported me to continue my professional journey having relocated between countries, which has been the most exciting journey! I’ve also been given the opportunity to start the Landscape Institute Pathway to Chartership. The work -life balance here has also helped me pursue other interests such as playing badminton and indulgig in art and craft-making.
