Landscape Architect
Design Inspiring Outdoor Spaces. Shape Communities. Lead with Purpose.
We are seeking a talented and motivated Landscape Architect to lead the design and development of engaging, functional, and sustainable outdoor environments. This role blends creative vision with technical expertise, offering the opportunity to contribute to meaningful land development projects while mentoring junior designers and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
If you’re passionate about site design, landscape planning, and thoughtful integration of lighting and environmental elements, this is an opportunity to make a visible impact on the built environment and grow as a design leader.
What You’ll Do
Design & Project Leadership
Create innovative, functional landscape designs that enhance usability, aesthetics, and environmental performance
Lead site design efforts, including site layout, grading concepts, planting plans, and integration with surrounding contexts
Incorporate site and landscape lighting to improve safety, orientation, and visual appeal
Contribute design expertise across a variety of land development and site design projects
Mentorship & Collaboration
Mentor and guide junior staff, providing technical direction, design feedback, and professional development support
Collaborate closely with engineers, planners, and other design professionals to ensure cohesive and well‑coordinated projects
Participate in design reviews and uphold consistent, high‑quality standards across deliverables
Technical Execution
Prepare, review, and refine landscape and site drawings using AutoCAD and Civil 3D
Ensure designs meet project goals, regulatory requirements, and applicable standards
Support project documentation through all phases of design and development
What We’re Looking For
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture
Professional Landscape Architect (PLA) license
Proven experience in landscape and site design for land development projects
Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D
Demonstrated experience mentoring or overseeing junior staff
Solid understanding of land development processes and site coordination
Additional Strengths
Ability to seamlessly integrate lighting into overall site and landscape designs
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high‑quality design documentation
Effective communication skills for guiding teams and coordinating with stakeholders
Collaborative mindset and ability to thrive in multidisciplinary environments
Work Environment & Culture
This role is based in a professional design and engineering setting, combining focused design work with collaborative project coordination. Daily work involves extensive use of AutoCAD and Civil 3D, ongoing design dialogue with project teams, and opportunities to share knowledge and mentor emerging talent.
The firm fosters a culture that values creativity, technical excellence, teamwork, and professional growth, offering exposure to diverse projects and the chance to shape landscapes that leave a lasting impression.
Why This Role Stands Out
Lead and influence meaningful site and landscape projects
Blend creative design with technical and regulatory expertise
