Founded in 2014, the firm has steadily grown into an enthusiastic team of approximately 35 designers, researchers, and engineers. We aim to continue expanding, deepening our knowledge, and broadening our field of work. We believe that when nature is given space, it gives back—ecologically, socially, and economically. Our designs aim to integrate nature into cities and landscapes in meaningful, long-lasting ways.

• Curiosity about how nature-based design shapes both the environment and society

• A proactive, analytical mindset—comfortable with both fieldwork and data

• You have excellent written and verbal communications skills

• You are continuous availability for 6 months

What you’ll gain:

  At Felixx, you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to societal challenges. We are experts in Nature-based Solutions, both in research where knowledge is translated into design and applied in realization.
