Job description

Your newpany

Founded in 1994, SLA is a Danish nature-based design studio working internationally at the intersection of landscape architecture, urbanism, and ecology. Their work focuses on landscape as urban infrastructure, integrating biodiversity, hydrology, climate adaptation, and public life into the spatial structure of cities. Across Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and North America, they collaborate with cities, public agencies, and developers on landscape-led urban transformations, including waterfront districts, new neighbourhoods, and large-scale public realm projects.

In Canada, SLA is currently involved in projects where nature-based design plays a central role in shaping the future of emerging districts, including Ookwemin Minising, Quayside and David Crombie Park. The opening of their Toronto Studio marks the next step in establishing a long-term Canadian presence and contributing to the development of climate-adaptive, nature-based urban landscapes across Canadian cities.

Your work will span strategic frameworks, public spaces, waterfronts, neighbourhoods, and climate infrastructure, covering all phases from Concept Design through Construction Administration.
Beyond project leadership, you will help establish SLA's professional culture, design approach, and long-term presence in Canada. As part of the strategy, SLA is seeking to expand their presence beyond Ontario, so domestic travel and building new client relationships will be a key part of this role.
