Working at Randall Thorp
Our people are fundamental to the success of the practice. We are always interested in hearing from talented landscape architects, landscape planners and urban designers who share our commitment to thoughtful, landscape-led design.
Whether you're starting your career or bringing many years of experience, you'll have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects across planning, masterplanning, urban design and landscape architecture, while developing your skills within an established and supportive practice.
Our Studio
We are based at Beehive Lofts in the heart of Manchester's Ancoats Urban Village. Housed within a Grade II listed Victorian cotton mill, it provides a light, open workspace where people can work together, share ideas and enjoy spending time.
We recognise that everyone works differently. Alongside hybrid working and genuine flexitime, we value the benefits of spending time together in the studio, where ideas are shared, problems are solved and experience is exchanged naturally. We believe this balance creates an environment where people can collaborate effectively while maintaining a healthy balance between work and life outside the office.
Just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, the studio sits within one of Manchester's most vibrant neighbourhoods, surrounded by independent cafés, restaurants and creative businesses. With the city centre on our doorstep and the Peak District within easy reach, it's a great place to live and work.
Professional development
Learning and professional development are part of everyday life at Randall Thorp.
We actively support colleagues through the Landscape Institute's Pathway to Chartership, apprenticeships and year-out placements, with mentoring provided by experienced members of our team, including Pathway mentors, supervisors and examiners.
Professional development continues throughout every career. Regular CPD sessions, technical seminars and knowledge-sharing events enable our team to develop new skills, broaden their experience and learn from colleagues working across different areas of the practice.
Benefits and wellbeing
We want Randall Thorp to be a place where people can build a rewarding career alongside a fulfilling life outside work. Our benefits package is intended to support health and wellbeing, help colleagues make their money go further, and enhance life both at work and beyond it.
Hybrid working and flexitime provide flexibility in organising the working week, balanced with time together in the studio to collaborate, learn and share ideas. Our wider package brings together health and wellbeing support, financial and lifestyle benefits, and access to shared facilities, events and activities as part of the Beehive Lofts community.
We also value the everyday experience of being part of the practice: approachable colleagues, support from experienced members of the team, and opportunities to enjoy time together through social events and shared activities.
