  • Coordinate with sub-consultants, vendors, and other project stakeholders
  • Maintain active professional licensure in applicable states
  • Champion innovative and sustainable design solutions

    • Supervisory Duties

  • Oversee the work of Associates and Landscape Designers
  • Report directly to firm leadership and contribute to strategic planning and team development

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s and / or Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from an accredited institution
  • Active licensure as a Landscape Architect
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a leadership or senior project management role
  • Proven success in managing projects, people, and client relationships
  • Strong expertise in site planning, planting design, layout, and construction detailing
  • Proficiency in sustainable site design principles and applications
