Its work spans major public, civic and infrastructure projects. The practice is known for design that creates lasting social, environmental and economic value for the communities it serves.
The Opportunity:
The Brisbane landscape team is looking for a Senior Landscape Architect to lead the landscape design of significant Queensland projects, from early concept through documentation and construction. You’ll work closely with architects, urban designers, engineers and specialist consultants.

- Resolve technical design elements such as levels and grading, hardscape detailing, planting design, soil profiles and podium/on-structure landscapes
- Integrate water-sensitive urban design (WSUD), stormwater management and irrigation strategies with civil and hydraulic engineers
- Prepare specifications, planting schedules, material palettes and construction details suited to Queensland’s subtropical climate
- Coordinate with arborists, ecologists, civil engineers, lighting designers and other consultants to deliver integrated outcomes
- Manage project programs, fees, resourcing and deliverables, and act as a key point of contact for clients and stakeholders
- Review and respond to authority requirements,
including development approval conditions and council and state agency standards
- Support construction-phase services, including RFIs, shop drawing reviews, site inspections and defects assessments
- Mentor and guide junior and graduate landscape architects through design reviews and technical training
Skills Required:
- Substantial professional experience at senior level within landscape architecture
- Registered Landscape Architect (AILA), or eligible for registration
- Proven experience delivering large-scale civic, health, infrastructure, transport or complex urban public realm projects
- Advanced Revit skills for landscape documentation and multidisciplinary model coordination; experience with Rhino or similar tools is valued
- Strong technical knowledge of construction detailing, materials, grading, drainage and planting design
- Working knowledge of relevant Australian Standards, CPTED and Universal Access principles, and sustainability frameworks such as Green Star or ISCA
- Strong project management skills, including programming, budgeting and consultant coordination
- Experience working within a multidisciplinary design environment
- Clear written, verbal and graphic communication, with confidence presenting to clients and stakeholders
- A collaborative approach and a commitment to developing others
- A strong interest in sustainable, climate-responsive and forward-thinking landscape design
The Benefits:
- Paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers
- Flexible and hybrid working, including options for location and work patterns
