Landscape Architect​/Designer at Scot Eckley Inc.

This position is posted on behalf of People Solutions Center's client, Scot Eckley Inc..

For 25 years, SEI has built a reputation for rigorous design work that unlocks the potential for how our residential clients live, gather, and experience their outdoor spaces. We’re a design-build studio where your design work is supported and realized by our in-house project management and build teams, which means your ideas don’t just get rendered. They get built, refined through construction, and lived in by real people.

Here’s what matters to us:
Growing people above everything else. Building things that last: landscapes, teams, careers. And creating outdoor spaces that fundamentally change how our clients live: gathering spaces that pull people outside year-round, outdoor kitchens that get used, and gardens that produce. See our work at
