Our Brisbane based Economics, Planning and Design team is looking for a passionate landscape architect to work on a range of projects from landscape planning, public infrastructure and City shaping projects, including Brisbane Metro, Regional Rail Revival and City of Gold Coast Urban Greening Action Plan. You will be working collaboratively on projects across Australasia with a team of 25 in Brisbane, comprising of Landscape Architects, Urban Designers, Urban Planners and Architects.

Arup’s landscape architects create thoughtful, sustainable and award-winning landscape planning and design projects. From concept to delivery, we work on a diverse range of projects at all scales and geographies. We know that contemporary landscape design must tackle pressing challenges. So while our landscape solutions help create inspiring places, they are also strategies to produce more liveable cities, greater biodiversity and resilience to climate change, and better resource management. We explore this thinking in our Cities Alive: Rethinking Green Infrastructure publication, which highlights the influential role of green infrastructure in planning and designing better cities and urban environments for people and communities.
