This is an exciting opportunity to lead impactful projects, mentor emerging talent, and help create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, functional, and sustainable.

Backed by decades of experience, our client is guided by a people-first philosophy, a collaborative culture, and a commitment to purposeful design. Their portfolio spans residential, commercial, and public sector work with each project driven by a mission to create lasting community impact.

The Role:

The Landscape Architect will lead and coordinate a variety of suburban and urban design projects from conception through completion. This position involves close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, strong client engagement skills, and the delivery of high-quality, innovative design solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage all phases of diverse landscape architecture projects, ensuring design excellence, complex schedules, and budgets are maintained
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams on the planning and design of parks, schools, residential developments, commercial centers, and civic projects
• Oversee detailed design deliverables, including hardscape plans, planting design, and site layouts that respond to each site’s unique character
• Act as the main liaison with clients, consultants, and public agencies, overseeing projects through approvals and permitting
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to a team culture that fosters collaboration, learning, and professional growth

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from an accredited institution
• 7+ years of relevant professional experience, ideally including projects in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun Counties
• Professional Landscape Architecture license preferred
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and related design tools
• Experience with 3D modeling software such as SketchUp, Revit, or similar tools
• Strong commitment to teamwork and a collaborative design process

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Our client offers an inclusive, supportive workplace with benefits designed to promote balance, health, and professional growth. Their package includes:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Flexible hybrid work options
• Generous PTO and company holidays
• On-demand access to an external career coach

This is a chance to join a respected design practice, take the lead on projects that shape communities, and play a key role in mentoring the next generation of designers.
