We are always looking for people who can make a difference – people with energy and talent who are motivated to succeed. Does that sound like you?
Lichfields' people are bright, creative, adaptable, and utterly committed to doing the best job they possibly can. If you work for us, your clients will be some of the biggest and most demanding organisations in the country, and your projects will be the sort that make the headlines.
Lichfields is a great place to work – it’s lively, friendly and supportive. One thing that makes us really special is the fact that we’re owned by an Employee Benefit Trust. That means all our profits are reinvested into the business, and shared with our staff through bonuses, so they always see the rewards of their hard work.
As a football fan, one of my highlights has been helping Bristol City Football Club obtain planning permission for the redevelopment of its stadium.
I really like the range of work you get to do – I’ve already got experience in housing, retail, leisure, heritage and employment.
Arwel Evans, Associate Director
After ten years here I’ve seen the Manchester office grow from a small team to a major player in the North West. In that time I’ve developed a specialism in town centre planning, but there are always plenty of opportunities to do other things, and I specially enjoy working with colleagues in other offices.
Katie Howarth, Planning Director
What has surprised me about Lichfields is the real sense of belonging. Even though we’re all spread out all over the country, the offices really do interact and support each other. I like the flexible approach to working too – the emphasis is on what you achieve, not how many hours you’re in the office. That’s very modern, and especially helpful to people like me, who have young kids.
Chris Darley, Senior Director, Head of Office
Lichfields gives you great opportunities to develop new skills. If you work hard and do well you’ll see your career develop, and the culture is really positive, with a strong team ethos and an emphasis on innovation and new ideas. I particularly value the network of expert groups where we share best practice and expertise to develop our knowledge and skills. I really wanted to work here because Lichfields had such a good reputation.
Michael Hepburn, Senior Director
