Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

Project Management and Design of the public realm

Project Management meetings, site visits, design from concept to detailed design, contract administration and brief writing.

Making a better place for people, not being profit driven.

Dealing with large numbers of stakeholders all with different agendas.

Unlike a lot of landscape architecture jobs in private practice, working for the government allows me to frequently get out of the office, do studies of the Public life of the city, helping to develop a stronger and more sustainable community.

All the landscape architecture qualifications I gained at the University of Sheffield. Being in Perth, Western Australia where all landscape architects get trained at the same university, allows me to utilise a different way of being taught from Sheffield.

2 Years at Burgess Design Group - Perth
1 Year in Construction at Birmingham Airport
2 Years at HASSELL (international multidisciplinary firm)
3 months City of Perth (current)
I also gained my landscape architecture registration in 2016

Initially I would like to improve my position at the City of Perth. However in the long term I would like to be self-employed, either in Landscape Architecture or in another career entirely, perhaps catering as my main passion is for healthy, tasty food.

Keep on top of what is current in the industry, also, study and understand construction/ how things are actually built, this is a massive time saver later down the track and employers really value it.
