Experienced Landscape Architect (PLA/RLA)

Design Meaningful Places. Lead Projects. Shape Communities.

Are you a licensed Landscape Architect looking for an opportunity to lead high-impact projects, mentor talented designers, and help shape communities for years to come?

We're seeking an experienced Landscape Architect to play a pivotal role within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team. In this position, you'll guide projects from concept through construction, influence design strategy, build strong client relationships, and help create spaces where people live, work, gather, and connect.

From parks and mixed-use developments to commercial sites and master-planned communities, you'll have the opportunity to work on diverse, visible projects while helping drive design excellence and project success.

If you're passionate about great design, enjoy leading teams, and want your work to have a lasting impact, this could be the next step in your career.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Lead impactful projects that shape communities and public spaces

Take ownership of project vision, design direction, and client relationships

Mentor and develop the next generation of landscape architects

Collaborate with planners, engineers, architects, and technical experts

Employee-owned organization with a long-term focus on success

Diverse portfolio including parks, commercial developments, mixed-use projects, and master-planned communities

Structured professional development and continued growth opportunities

Modern technology, software, and technical support resources

Work schedule that supports work-life balance with half-day Fridays

What You'll Do

As a key leader within the practice, you'll contribute to both project success and team development by:

  • Leading landscape architecture projects through planning, design, documentation, permitting, and construction.
  • Managing project teams while balancing scope, quality, budget, schedule, and client expectations.
  • Developing innovative, practical, and sustainable design solutions across a variety of project types.
  • Collaborating with clients, consultants, and multidisciplinary teams to bring project visions to life.
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships through ongoing engagement, presentations, proposals, and networking.
  • Guiding entitlement, permitting, and regulatory approval processes.
  • Leading site planning, land development, and landscape architecture efforts.
  • Managing project budgets, staffing plans, schedules, and resources.
  • Solving complex design and construction challenges while maintaining project goals and design intent.
  • Mentoring and developing landscape architects and design professionals.
  • Contributing to a culture centered on collaboration, innovation, and design excellence.
What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications
  • Professional Landscape Architect License (PLA/RLA).
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Landscape Architecture.
  • 8+ years of progressive landscape architecture experience.
  • Experience leading projects involving parks, commercial developments, mixed-use projects, or master-planned communities.
  • Strong understanding of site planning, permitting, entitlement, and land development processes.
  • Proven success managing project budgets, schedules, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring and developing design professionals.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Portfolio demonstrating design excellence and project leadership across multiple phases.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Civil 3D and Revit.
  • Background in land development and site layout.
  • Experience supporting proposals, client interviews, and business development efforts.
  • Knowledge of sustainable design principles and best practices.
  • Passion for mentorship and helping others grow professionally.
Who Thrives in This Role?

This role is ideal for Landscape Architects who:

  • Enjoy leading projects from concept through construction.
  • Want to have a significant voice in design and project strategy.
  • Are energized by mentoring team members and helping others succeed.
  • Value building long-term client relationships.
  • Like balancing creative design with technical problem-solving.

  • Monday-Thursday: 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM
  • Friday: 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM
Make Your Mark

This is more than a project management role. It's an opportunity to lead meaningful work, influence communities, mentor future design leaders, and leave a lasting impact through thoughtful landscape architecture.
