Who we are:
Common Ground is a trail and bike facility consultancy specialising in all facets of developing and establishing facilities that connect people with trails, outdoor spaces, landscapes and most importantly each other. We work on mountain bike and walking trails, pump & jump tracks, BMX tracks, learn to ride tracks and play spaces.
Our team is a mix of landscape architects, urban designers, architects, trail builders and professionals, who collaborate as a team to deliver outstanding outcomes. We are also experienced and passionate mountain bikers, trail users and BMXers and we aim to infuse this enthusiasm into every project we undertake, from small scale volunteer projects, through to major destination development.
Above all, our work is exciting, it’s challenging, it’s fun and it’s fast-paced. We get to stand back at the end of a project and see what we’ve built. People get outdoors, get active and connect to nature when they ride or walk our tracks and trails. This helps to create future stewards for our environment, some of the most unique and ancient landscapes in the world, and we feel really good about that.
Common Ground’s head office is in Margaret River WA, with a second office in Kyneton VIC, and we have staff working remotely across Australian and Canada. This role will be based in our Margaret River office working closely with key team members.
