We connect the people, places, and resources that take a project from concept to reality, in built form.

The senior members of the team are hands‑on with delivering projects, however, within our growing team, there are opportunities to develop strategic growth plans, gain additional responsibility and more ownership/autonomy over their work.

• Collaborate with the broader Landscape Architecture team and multidisciplinary project teams to promote and strengthen Landscape Architecture services across the business both internally and externally.
• Stay informed on industry standards, emerging design trends, and best practices to enhance project quality and support ongoing professional development.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with new and existing clients.
• Other ad hoc duties as required.

To be successful for this role you'll need:

• Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) recognised qualification in Landscape Architecture
• Minimum 7 years working experience in consulting field and/or recognised as a Landscape Architect in your current role.
• Registration with the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) is an advantage but not essential. Support can be provided for candidates working towards becoming a Registered Landscape Architect.
• Solid skills in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite software (Photoshop and InDesign), and MS Office. Experience with 3D rendering software an asset but not essential.
• Ability to work alone and coordinate within a team to achieve project deadlines.
• Well-developed communication skills (verbal, written and graphic).
