Landscape Architect / Project Manager

About the company:

Some senior roles take you further away from design. This one doesn't. You'll be joining an established landscape architecture studio where senior team members remain closely involved in the creative and technical work.


The portfolio includes high-end residential landscapes, luxury hospitality, urban rooftops, amenity spaces and institutional projects. There's a strong emphasis on thoughtful design and detailing, giving you the opportunity to lead sophisticated projects while still having a genuine hand in what gets built.

What you'll be doing:


  • Lead landscape architecture projects from concept through construction

  • Remain hands-on throughout design development

  • Manage project teams, schedules and deliverables

  • Build and maintain relationships with clients

  • Coordinate consultants and contractors

  • Develop grading plans and technical details

  • Oversee construction documentation and administration

  • Stay involved on site throughout construction

  • Resolve design and technical issues as projects progress

  • Mentor and support junior designers

  • Help maintain a consistently high standard of design across the studio



What we're looking for:


  • 8+ years of landscape architecture experience

  • Proven experience managing projects and design teams

  • Strong design and technical capabilities

  • Experience taking projects from start to finish

  • Confident client-facing and consultant coordination skills

  • Experience with high-end residential or luxury hospitality projects would be particularly relevant

  • Urban rooftop, amenity or boutique commercial experience would also translate well

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite and SketchUp

  • Rhino, Lumion or other 3D visualization experience would be beneficial

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Landscape Architecture, Architecture or a related discipline

  • Professional licensure would be an advantage

  • Strong planting knowledge is preferred

More reasons to apply:

  • Stay hands-on with design while progressing into greater project leadership

  • Work across high-end residential, hospitality and urban landscapes

  • Take ownership of projects from initial concept through construction

  • Regular site involvement so you can see your designs become built work

  • Work closely with clients, consultants and contractors

  • Mentor junior designers and help shape the wider studio

  • Performance-related bonus

  • 401(k) contributions

  • Medical and dental coverage

  • Paid vacation and continued professional development
