Arriving fresh in Adelaide I sought temporary employment through Hays Recruitment. My first placement was with Jensen Planning and Design. My role was to provide documentation support in Residential and Local Government Open Space development.Project ExperienceCoast Park, Shared Path , Henley Beach SectionBowden Streetscape ConceptsProspect Road Streetscape ConceptChurchill Road Streetscape Concept2nd placement was at TCL, key role was facilitating the design development of the landscape architecture at 6x New Super Schools as part of a Public Private Partnership. As the day to day contact I coordinated a team of landscape architects and liased with 3 different architect teams and the client. It was an intense role but provided valuable experience in project management.

A return to Ireland was on the cards with an exciting opportunity to join one of the largest and best Landscape Architectural firms in Ireland. Ireland was experiencing significant growth and developments were a plenty not only in Ireland but in Western Europe. Joining as a project landscape architect I was involved in numerous planning development applications including residential, commercial, health, tourism and industrial. Documentation included a Roof top plaza for Historic Comber Mill, Health Centres in West Belfast and streetscape upgrade for Athlone. A key project during my time at Parkhood was a high rised mixed use precinct in Mogosoaia, Romania. This project was taken through to documentation and included site visit and project coordination . Thanks to Johnny and Stuart for the oppourtunity at Parkhood and for letting me partake in those key social events!Project ExperienceComber Mill, Residential DevelopmentMogosoaia Mixed Use Development, RomaniaDublin Airport City, CommercialBessbrook Mill, Residential DevelopmentAbbey Lodge HotelAthlone Streetscape UpgradeAndersontown and Shankill Health CentreResidential Care Home, Newcastle and ComberRamada Hotel Belfast.Small and medium scale residential planning applications

After travelling through Australia I was fortunate to gain not only employment but sponsorship at SPLAT with the active support of the Director Stephen Pate. Not only did we have a rad crew (surfers terminology) but an excellent location overlooking the Brisbane River, oh yes and the work was pretty exciting too. Big budgets, idilic sites, and continuous sunshine. A mild contrast from Ireland. Early exposure was as a Landscape Technician working on larges scale subdivision for development superpowers such as Stockland and Delfin Lend Lease. During my last 2 years I was part of a small team developing and implementing the Strategic Masterplan for Brisbane Airport. A very exciting and complex project that exposed me to all levels of the design process from masterplan through to contract administration. Through natural transition my exposure level on this project increased until I departed for Ireland as the Project Landscape Architect. Also during this time I also had input on other high profile projects including Southbank Parkland an iconic tourist and commercial district in Brisbanes CBD.Project ExperienceBoardwalk at Coolum, Large scale Subdivision, StocklandsBuderium Rainforest SubdivisionSouthbank Parklands, Strategic improvementsBrisbane Airport strategic MasterplanBrisbane Airport Masterplan Implementation includingAirport DriveDFO shopping precinctSpine ParkBrisbane Airport Corporation HQInternational terminal Multi Level CarparkDomestic Terminal Environmental ImprovementsDa Vinci New Technology Precinct MasterplanNo1 Airport Masterplan

My Landscape Architecture Career is off and running thanks to Jim and Marnette. My first year was sandwiched between 4th year and my final diploma year. This exposure with patient leadership allowed me to develop an essential understanding of private practise and the complexities of the design process. In the real world. After my final year of university I returned to EDC and was again mentored at gaining further exposure in professional practise.Project ExperienceEnvironmental improvements Poleglass Small Scale ResidentialVisual Impact Assements ie Wind Farms, Industrial Parks
