Job Description

The Practice
ASPECT Studios is a purpose orientated, design led landscape architecture and urban design practice. With operations across Australia, Asia, the UK, and the Middle East, our studios believe in the power of design to positively change people’s behavior and lives, the environment, and the planet.

Perth Studio
Our studio space is centrally located at the heart of the CBD, on the banks of the Derber Yerigan in the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Nogar people. We offer a highly collaborative environment with opportunities for hands-on mentorship and learning. Our team believes in the importance of creating a studio environment where an openness to new ideas and collaboration sits in partnership with deep knowledge and expertise.

Together we create a fun, down-to-earth and diverse workplace culture, with regular group outings and activities (think wellness walks, Friday drinks, afternoon teas, and learning/networking events).
