Landscape Designer I

What you'll do in this role You'll work across the full design process: developing sketches and renderings, building out construction documents, running computational models, and contributing to presentations that actually win hearts in the room. You'll be involved in design reviews, charrettes, and pin-ups early on. You'll coordinate with consultants, ask hard questions, and push ideas forward alongside people who take the craft seriously. This isn't a "sit in the corner and draft" role. We want you curious, vocal, and invested in the work. What we're looking for A bachelor's degree in landscape architecture or a related field 1-3 years of experience Working knowledge of 2D/3D production tools; comfort with Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, and visualization software like Enscape or V-Ray is a strong plus Familiarity with site analysis, environmental analysis tools (Ladybug, Climate Studio), and physical modeling Active pursuit of your LARE, and at least one living design accreditation on your radar —
