Landscape Architect​/Senior Landscape Architect

Second Nature is a design-led landscape architecture studio based in Singapore, working on projects across Singapore and Asia.

We are looking for a Landscape Architect /Senior Landscape Architect who wants to do more than simply work on projects. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership, drive projects forward and play an active role in shaping the design.

You will work closely with our Principals across a diverse portfolio — helping to shape design, coordinate teams, manage clients and consultants, and carry projects from ideas through to built outcomes.

We are looking for someone who combines strong project management skills with design flair and a good eye for design — someone who is organised and dependable, but who also cares deeply about the quality of the work we create.

• Anticipating issues proactively and helping the team find practical solutions.

• Supporting tender and construction stages, including technical queries, material and shop-drawing reviews and site inspections.
• Guiding and coordinating junior team members where required.
• Contributing ideas on how we can continually improve the way we design and deliver our projects.

• Has design flair and a strongeye for good design, with a genuine interest in landscape, architecture and the wider built environment.
• Is able to balance creative thinking with the practical demands of delivering projects.
• Is highly organised and naturally thinks a few steps ahead.
• Takes responsibility and initiative in moving things forward smoothly.
• Can manage multiple project sand priorities without losing sight of design quality.
• Can move comfortably between the big picture and the details needed to make it happen.
• Communicates clearly and confidently with clients, consultants and contractors.
• Enjoys solving problems and navigating the realities of delivering good design.
• Is collaborative, generous with ideas and comfortable working as part of a close design team.
• Wants meaningful involvement in projects rather than being confined to a single stage or task.

• Degree or Diploma in Landscape Architecture or a related discipline.
• Minimum 4 years of relevant professional experience, with appointment as Landscape Architect or Senior Landscape Architect based on experience and capability.
• Strong project management and coordination experience.
• Demonstrated design ability anda strong portfolio of landscape work.
• Good understanding of landscape design, technical documentation and construction.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD and Microsoft Office.
• Familiarity with Rhino, Sketch Up, Enscape and other relevant design software is advantageous.
• Experience working on projects in Singapore and/or across Asia would be advantageous.

We believe good landscape architecture comes from curiosity, collaboration and care — for the idea, for the details and for how a place will ultimately be experienced.

At Second Nature, you will have visibility across the whole project rather than being confined to one part of the process.

You will work directly with the Principals, contribute to important design and project decisions, and have the opportunity to take genuine ownership of your work.

We are looking for someone who wants to contribute, take responsibility and make a difference to the work we create together.
