The opportunity:

We have an exciting portfolio of current and upcoming projects, and we’re looking for a Senior Landscape Architect with strong project management and leadership skills — particularly in documentation and contract administration phases.

This role is perfect for someone who blends creative vision with technical precision, who enjoys guiding a team through all stages of the design and delivery process.

This permanent position can be part or full time (min 3 days per week), and whilst you’ll need to be based in Brisbane for the longer term, we are open to supporting candidates in select other states with a staged relocation to Brisbane.

What you’ll do:

• Lead projects from concept to construction, delivering exceptional design and documentation.
• Manage project deliverables, including site analysis, planning, design development, construction documentation, and tender packages.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, contractors, and consultants.
• Mentor and guide junior team members, fostering a collaborative and supportive studio culture.
• Work across a variety of scales, from strategic master plans to detailed construction packages.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, sustainability practices, and design innovations.

What we’re looking for:

• Degree in Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Architecture, or equivalent.
• 6–8 years’ experience in a professional design practice.
• Proven track record leading small teams through all project phases, with emphasis on documentation and contract administration.
• Strong design thinking, technical expertise, and attention to detail.
• Proficiency in REVIT (essential).
• Experience with Autocad, Vectorworks, Rhino, and Adobe Creative Suite desirable.
• Excellent visual communication, problem-solving skills, and sustainability knowledge.
• A passion for creating inclusive, environmentally responsible places.

Why join us!

At ASPECT, you’ll work alongside globally recognised design leaders in a culture that values collaboration, innovation, and purpose.

We offer:

• Flexible, inclusive working arrangements,
• Generous paid parental leave and purchased leave programs,
• Reimbursement support for your industry membership fees,
• Volunteering - up to 2x paid days per year to volunteer for a Purpose-aligned not-for-profit,
• MAPS Days – up to 4x paid days per year to explore a passion project or aligned interest,
• Ongoing professional development in a teaching and learning environment, and
• Opportunities to work on iconic local and international projects.
