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
• Mentor the next generation of landscape architects
• Collaborate closely with engineers and planners on integrated solutions
• Thrive in a supportive, growth‑oriented professional environment
