Interested in speaking to Director level Landscape Architects for an exciting opportunity in Abu Dhabi to lead a large design team on large scale projects across MENA region. Please send CV and portfolio to tlee@bwpltd.com 

Allright, sounds good, I’ll contact few firms directly then. Thanks a lot!

If the firm is interested in what you have to offer it’s usually not a problem. There is always a shortage of landscape architects in HK, so there are always a few firms hiring. Your past projects and portfolio are important.

@Michael, No I am still in the EU, do you reckon is feasible to get a job from here? 

I suggest just sending your CV and portfolio to any companies you’re interested in, and take it from there. Are you in Hong Kong at the moment?

@Albert thanks a lot for the info, I’ll take a look! 

@Alessandro try going to the companies’ websites.  If not sometimes you will have luck in recruit.com.hk and jobsdb.com

Hi there,

I am a Graduate Landscape Architect, looking into some job opportunities in Hong Kong. Despite the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architecture, could you suggest other web sites where to look for jobs? Is there any firm hiring at the moment? 

Thank you,

Ale.

Leo – Thank you for the information…this will help a lot.  I saw the survey on Bayt.com but all the salaries were blocked from my viewing. I am currently research cost of living as well, it seems to be fairly equal to the U.S.
Thanks again, Kelly

This might be helpful – published by Bayt.com (from anonymous employee survey) last week:
Average salary for job title “senior landscape architect”
$8832 UAE
$6987 Bahrain
$4732 Qatar
$6539 KSA
Advise you check the cost of living to know the net value.  Hope this helps.

I am currently in employment negotiations with a large firm in Qatar and am looking for information on what salaries are for LA’s there.  I just finished my masters degree, and have a BSLA with 10 yrs of experience.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

cool group!!! super excited to be a member here!!! thanks!!

You should try out Hassell, Aedas, good ol’ Belt Collins, Earthasia and even Aecom. I also just read that ERM’s on the look out too.
 
Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to HK in January and will be looking for work with an LAR firm. I’m currently back in the US but worked in Beijing for 7 months last year and Shanghai for 6 months this year. I’m looking to stay in HK for at least 2-3 years, maybe permanently. I’ve been looking online for firms hiring but figured I would post something here…[Read more]
