Senior Landscape Architect – Simon Ronan Landscape Architects

Simon Ronan Landscape Architects (SRLA), an Irish landscape architecture practice based in West Cork with an office in Dublin, is looking for a senior landscape architect to work from Dublin, Cork or West Cork. The listing was posted on 21 October 2026 and runs until 18 November 2026; the salary is negotiable and depends on experience, with no figure given.

SRLA works on ambitious projects across Europe, Northern Africa and Asia, spanning luxury hospitality, public realm, urban regeneration and large masterplans, alongside a growing body of work in Ireland. Its approach is rooted in regenerative design, with a focus on ecology, biodiversity and natural systems. Recent work includes the grounds of Carton House Hotel in Kildare, which the practice took from concept to construction, Park Hyatt Mallorca and the Royal Arts Complex in Riyadh with Ricardo Bofill Architects.

The role

The full-time senior landscape architect will be responsible for the technical development and delivery of complex projects, from design development through detailed design and construction. Working closely with Simon Ronan, they will lead projects, manage design teams and coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors and clients, oversee technical documentation, resolve design and construction issues and attend site meetings and inspections. Mentoring younger designers is part of the job, and there is scope to grow into a wider leadership role.

Hybrid working is available, but the post involves regular coordination with project teams and site visits, particularly on projects in Dublin and Cork.

Requirements

• Based in Ireland
• A professional qualification in landscape architecture and at least 10 years of professional experience
• Extensive technical design experience, delivering projects through detailed design and construction
• Strong Revit skills (essential), with experience of producing and coordinating technical landscape information
• A track record of leading complex projects and managing design teams
• Excellent knowledge of construction detailing, materials, specifications and construction processes, plus experience with contractors and site inspections
• AutoCAD and Adobe CC, with strong design and graphic communication skills
• Confident communication with clients and consultants, good organisation and excellent written and spoken English

Experience of international hospitality, public realm or large masterplanning projects, Irish construction practice, Rhino 3D, ecological planting strategies and projects in the Middle East would be valued, as would a real interest in regenerative design.
