About Spiire Adelaide

The Adelaide office is one of 10 in the Spiire network, supported by the wider team of more than 350 people working on projects throughout VIC, NSW, QLD and the ACT.

Two years on from launching a local presence in Adelaide, the team is thriving. With a focus on sustainable growth, we’ve brought on experienced South Australian civil engineers, who are passionate about the property development sector and its impact on the places they live and work. Now, with the integration of award-winning landscape architecture firm Outerspace Studios, our Adelaide office has expanded its capability to deliver creative, people-focused design outcomes alongside our engineering expertise.

We are supported by the broader Spiire network, leveraging expertise from multiple disciplines across all phases of the development cycle including civil engineering, construction consultancy, landscape architecture, surveying, water engineering, town planning, urban design and visual media. Our Adelaide Landscape Architecture team is also aligned with over 45 established landscape architects across Spiire nationally, regularly sharing ideas, knowledge and project opportunities to deliver better outcomes for our clients and communities.

This creates a rich learning environment that also draws in expertise from across the Spiire business, presenting an opportunity to not only learn from local experts, but also tap into specialist knowledge within other regions.

As the office continues to grow and build on its existing project portfolio, there are exciting opportunities for the right people to join the budding team and be part of its evolution.
