- 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

- Advanced Revit skills for landscape documentation and multidisciplinary model coordination; experience with Rhino or similar tools is valued

- 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
