Senior Horticultural Technician

At Planteria Group, we help organisations reimagine their workplaces, making them more productive, healthy, and sustainable. From creating warm, welcoming reception areas to designing large-scale living architecture, we turn ordinary spaces into vibrant places where people genuinely love to be.

We've grown from a small family business into the UK's leading interior landscaping specialist, transforming workplaces and commercial environments with the power of nature, to international expansion with operations in the US. Along the way, we've partnered with some of the UK's, and now US's most recognisable brands to bring biophilic design to life, from lush office greenery and elegant corporate floristry to spectacular roof gardens and living walls.

Our success is driven by a fantastic team of 185 employees internationally, and we're continuing to expand. We're now looking for passionate individuals to join us on this journey and help us shape the future of sustainable, inspiring workplace design.
