Landscape Designer/Architect and Project Manager (Mid-Level)

• Flexible
• San Antonio

We are excited to be growing our San Antonio, TX landscape design studio and are seeking a mid-level Landscape Designer Architect and Project Manager with strong construction document (CD) experience to join our diverse team of professionals. MIG supports a hybrid work-from-home/remote and in-office schedule, but the person in this position must be able to work from our San Antonio office for a portion of each week and attend in-person business development and client meetings.

Collaborative Teammate: You will work as part of a cross-office, cross-discipline team that emphasizes community planning and environmental design for children, youth and families; parks and recreation; streets, and community facilities for public and private-sector clients across the U.S.

Project Types: Typical projects you’ll work on include park planning and design; sports and recreation facility design; trails and non-motorized transportation plans; streetscape planning and design; site and landscape design for public and private buildings, plazas, and turban environments; campus master plans; children’s play environments; and community engagement (including online meetings and tools). At MIG we are particularly interested in projects that support equity and inclusion.

Project Work: You will work with a team of landscape architects, planners, and project managers on landscape architecture projects in the public and private sector. Your responsibilities will vary by project, with you sometimes supporting others and other times leading tasks. Your role will typically include:

• Supporting lead designers or project managers with tasks such as site analysis, site design, problem solving, construction detailing, planting plans, selection and design of site amenities and paving systems, aesthetic detailing, and project research.
• Providing project management, project support, or both depending on the project and project team. This will include working closely with a team of designers and planners to produce project deliverables, develop forward-thinking designs, strategies, and materials to facilitate project and public meetings. Depending on your experience, you may provide overarching project direction to MIG staff and oversight of work products; lead internal and external subconsultant and client teams;
  
  and develop and manage projects including scopes of work, budgets, and schedules. Project Managers at MIG maintain client relationships; identify the correct course of action to the client; represent clients at public hearings and meetings; and set the standards for excellence, responsiveness, and accountability.
• Producing conceptual exhibits, illustrative graphics, and full construction document sets. Other responsibilities may include conducting project research and project reports; preparing design presentations; providing support in developing cost estimates; responding to construction submittals and questions; providing sub-consultant and client coordination; and attending client meetings.

MIG works on projects nationwide; some travel, evening, and weekend work will be required for community engagement, site evaluations, or to meet deadlines. MIG encourages a work-life balance and these hours can be offset during the week when possible.

To accomplish the responsibilities, solid and focused experience in a professional office is a must, with demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, think critically and creatively, work as part of a collaborative team in an open environment, and maintain a sense of humor and camaraderie. In addition, you have the following qualifications:

• A Bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from an accredited university (a Master’s degree is a plus.)
• Knowledge and experience with Texas landscapes, including holding a Texas LA license or the interest and ability to obtain one.
• You can produce high-quality work products, including but not limited to complete construction document drawing sets and illustrative site plan and site detail graphics.
• Ability to participate collaboratively…
