• A solid background in infrastructure landscape design, preferably within a consultancy environment.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, coordinate and communicate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams.
• A strategic thinker with a clear understanding of the role of landscape and ecosystem services in driving sustainable infrastructure.
