Urban Design, Landscape Architecture & Planning Recruitment


Urban Design, Landscape Architecture & Planning Recruitment


Building great communities starts with great people.


Whether it's shaping new neighbourhoods, planning transport corridors, designing public spaces or delivering major urban renewal projects, the right planning and design professionals have a lasting impact on the places we live, work and connect.


At Vivid Recruitment, we specialise in Urban Design, Planning and Landscape Architecture recruitment across Australia. We partner with local government, state government, private consultancies, developers and multidisciplinary design practices to help them attract exceptional professionals who will strengthen their teams for the long term.


Recruitment Built on Relationships


The best planning and design professionals are rarely sitting on a job board waiting to be found.


Many of the people we place have built relationships with us over several years. We stay connected throughout their careers, understand what motivates them and know when the timing is right for a conversation.


That means our clients gain access to far more than active job seekers. They're backed by a network of planners, urban designers and landscape architects who trust us to introduce the right opportunities at the right time.


It's not rocket science. There are no bells & whistles, no fancy processes. Just hard work and incredible relationships. That's what gets the job done.


Understanding the Planning & Design Market


Population growth, housing supply, infrastructure investment and planning reform continue to reshape Australia's built environment.


Organisations need professionals who can balance technical expertise with stakeholder engagement, strategic thinking and commercial awareness. Whether recruiting for local government, a private consultancy or a multidisciplinary practice, every appointment plays a role in delivering better communities.


Because we're immersed in the market every day, we're able to provide honest advice on salary expectations, candidate availability, hiring trends and the realities of today's recruitment landscape.


We'll always tell you what we're seeing in the market, even if it's not necessarily what you were expecting to hear.
