Job description

Architectus Landscape is one of Australia’s newest landscape design studios, combining extensive local and international expertise with a passionate team of designers to create meaningful, lasting impact for people, communities, cities, and the environment.

We understand that each project sits within Country and has a distinct context; each project serves particular stakeholders; and each project is guided by a specific brief. Architectus Landscape generates a unique proposition for each site - derived from a Sense of Place - that permeates across scales and infuses every detail of our work.

With studios in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, we are a national team partnering across the Architectus network and with external collaborators to shape projects from the outset.

Join Architectus as an Associate in Landscape Architecture, contributing to the Sydney Olympic Park Metro Project and a growing portfolio of projects that are shaping how people experience and connect with the built environment.

Our Sydney Landscape team has built strong momentum, and we are ready for the next chapter. Our projects span major infrastructure and public spaces, hospitals, leading education facilities and urban living environments, offering the chance to work across diverse scales and make a tangible contribution to the places people use every day.

Backed by a well-established national firm, you’ll have the stability, pipeline and resources of a major business, with the freedom and pace of a growing team. No red tape, just real opportunity and visible effect across a diverse project mix.

For someone ready to step forward, this is a chance to do more than deliver projects. You can help shape the design thinking, influence how the team works and grows, and play a meaningful role in building the future of Landscape Architecture at Architectus!

• Applying strong technical knowledge of materials, construction and standards
• Collaborating with internal teams and external consultants
• Mentoring junior team members and contributing to studio culture
• Building client relationships and confidently presenting design solutions
