Job Description

LANDSCAPE DESIGNER - MID-SIZE PROJECT LEAD

We are looking for a Landscape Designer who can actually run work - not just contribute to it.

Someone who understands how projects move, how decisions get made, and how to take something from concept through construction without constant hand-holding.

This is not a production-only role. This is not a pure design role. It sits in the middle - where things either come together or fall apart.

If you have 4-8 years of experience and are starting to take ownership of projects, this is where you level up.

THE ROLE

You will operate as a project lead on small to mid-size work, and as a key contributor on larger efforts.

You will be responsible for keeping projects moving - internally and externally. That includes managing your own work, coordinating with others, and making sure nothing slips.

You will work directly with senior leadership, clients, and consultants. You will be expected to represent the firm well and communicate clearly.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Project Ownership

You take responsibility for your projects - scope, schedule, deliverables, and quality. No surprises.

Execution

You produce work. Plans, details, documentation. Clean, coordinated, and buildable.

Coordination

You keep consultants aligned and internal teams moving. You follow up. You close loops.

Design Development

You can take direction and turn it into something real. You can also push ideas forward when needed.

Client Interaction

You communicate professionally and directly. You understand what matters to the client and respond accordingly.

Construction Documentation

You know how to put together a solid set. Not theoretical. Something a contractor can actually build from.

Problem Solving

You identify issues early and address them. You do not wait for someone else to fix it.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

4-8 Years Experience

Landscape Architecture, Architecture, or Planning background.

Project Management Capability

You can run smaller projects and support larger ones without getting overwhelmed.

Technical Competence

Grading, drainage, planting, lighting, detailing - you have a working understanding and can execute with guidance where needed.

Software

CAD is a given. Adobe Suite is expected. Any 3D capability is a plus.

Organization

You keep your files clean, your work structured, and your projects under control.

Judgment

You know when to make a call and when to pull in senior leadership.

HOW YOU WILL BE MEASURED

Project Delivery

Are your projects on track, on budget, and cleanly executed?

Quality of Work

Is your output something we are confident putting in front of clients and contractors?

Communication

Are you clear, responsive, and proactive?

Ownership

Do you take responsibility or do things need to be chased?

Growth

Are you getting better? Taking on more? Expanding your scope?

WHAT THIS ROLE LEADS TO

This is a stepping stone to full project management and senior design leadership.

If you can own work, drive execution, and elevate those around you, there is a clear path forward here.

If you are looking for a role where you can actually take control of projects, sharpen your technical skill set, and grow into a leadership seat - this is it.

Apply and we will take it from there.
