This provides a unique opportunity to leverage the depth of our geographic reach while maintaining local knowledge, infusion, commitment and character. Our local landscape architecture team focuses on delivering innovative landscape designs which are site sensitive, site-specific and create a sense of place in line with client and community needs.

  • Developing design excellence across the landscape architecture portfolio.
  • Serving as project lead, managing the day-to-day running of the landscape business.
  • Leading the development of landscape architectural design, from masterplans through to construction.
  • Fostering a collaborative and inclusive team culture, mentoring senior and junior staff, and building strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and industry partners.
What you would bring
  • A Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or Urban Design, with 10+ years of experience, including leadership roles on complex, large-scale projects.
  • An understanding of Australian planning policy and legislation.
  • Experience in GIS, AutoCAD and REVIT (desirable but not essential).
  • Demonstrated success in team leadership, project delivery, and client relationship management as well as strong report writing skills.
  • A strategic mindset, strong communication skills, and a passion for design excellence.
  • A commitment to mentoring and developing high-performing teams.
