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.

Grow Your Career with Our Sydney Studio

Our Sydney landscape studio has been successfully running and growing since its inception over three years ago, making this an exciting time to join our team. Our work spans major public domain and infrastructure projects, through to hospitals and leading education projects, as well as urban living projects.

Backed by a well-established national firm, you will have the stability and pipeline of a large business, combined with the pace and visibility of a growing landscape team.

You will assist in project delivery from concept through to documentation, helping shape design outcomes while building your technical knowledge of materials, construction methodology and standards.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the delivery of landscape projects across all stages, from pre-design and concept through to detailed documentation for construction.
• Demonstrating growing knowledge and skills within landscape architecture, including public domain, open space, master planning, and urban precinct projects.
• Assisting in the preparation of high-quality documentation, reports, presentations, written and visual communications to an advanced standard.
• Collaborating closely with internal multidisciplinary teams and external consultants to achieve integrated design outcomes.
• Contributing positively to the landscape team’s culture and contributing to our shared direction.
