In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of a wide range of projects, from initial concepts and site planning through construction documentation and implementation. You will have the opportunity to work closely with senior staff, collaborate with other disciplines, and see your designs come to life. Our recent work has included new public-school buildings, public parks and recreational facilities, rehabilitation of state parks, multi-million-dollar commercial and residential developments, and master planning for institutional campuses throughout the Northeast. We work in our own communities, so we pass by our projects every day, which makes even small ones feel significant.

You should be comfortable developing design concepts, preparing plans and details, and communicating ideas through freehand sketches, digital graphics, and presentation materials.

Beyond technical qualifications, strong written and verbal communication skills matter to us. We value people who are creative, organized, comfortable working independently, and eager to collaborate across disciplines. We also recognize the importance of professional growth and provide opportunities to learn directly from experienced landscape architects, engineers, and surveyors.
