Overview
Downing is seeking a
Site Designer
with a background in civil engineering and/or landscape architecture to support our design-build projects. This is a hands-on role that works closely with architecture, construction, and external consultants from early feasibility through construction. The focus is feasibility site planning; code, utilities, grading, and coordination; not isolated concept work. You will be involved early, help shape what is feasible, and stay engaged as projects move toward construction. Responsibilities
Site Planning & Feasibility
Prepare site concepts, feasibility plans, and master planning studies. Evaluate zoning, setbacks, parking, access, utilities, and development constraints.
Municipal Coordination
Interface with municipal staff and agencies. Prepare and manage municipal submittals; track review comments and approvals.
Technical Coordination
Review and cross-check civil, architectural, structural, and MEP drawings. Identify conflicts early and support resolution before they reach the field.
Preliminary Site & Utility Layout
Develop preliminary grading, hardscape, and utility routing concepts for feasibility and early budgeting/coordination.
Construction Collaboration
Coordinate closely with Downing’s construction team and external civil consultants. Provide constructability input and assist with cost-driven design decisions.
Code & Field Verification
Perform site ADA analysis and site compliance reviews. Conduct field verification.
Requirements & Qualifications
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, or related field.
Experience
2–7 years of experience in a design-build or multidisciplinary environment. Strong understanding of how site, civil, and architectural drawings work together.
Software
Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D. Experience with visualization tools (Lumion, Enscape, or similar) is a plus.
Technical Judgment
Experience incorporating budget and constructability considerations into design work, and communicating these to our internal team and external partners.
Communication
Clear written, graphic, and verbal communication. Comfortable working with both municipal reviewers and field staff.
Licensure
RLA or PE licensure preferred but not required.
Why Downing?
You won’t just be drawing lines; you’ll be building them. We offer a fast-paced, collaborative environment. If you’re ready to move beyond paper architecture and into the world of active construction, let’s talk.
