**Overview:**
We are seeking a talented Ecological Landscape Designer & Project Manager to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a passion for creating outdoor spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We complete close to 100 projects each year ranging from small residential yards to multi-acre meadows established from seed. The right candidate will have a passion for plants, and for finding a new way of building functional, attainable yards that replace our lawn-heavy landscapes of the past.
Strong design and project management experience, excellent communication and problem-solving skills, the ability to effectively communicate in English with at least intermediate Spanish language skills, and a hunger for new skills and knowledge are important for the role. We are looking for someone who can grow into a relatively new space in the industry!
This role will require a combination of outdoor on-site project management work around the city and remote design work from home. The right candidate will have a driver's license, their own reliable vehicle, and the ability to work remotely from home.
**Duties:**
- Collaborate with clients to understand their needs and preferences for outdoor spaces
- Design landscape plans using pen and paper.
- Create detailed drawings and specifications for hardscape and softscape elements
- Develop project schedules and budgets
- Present design concepts to clients and make revisions based on feedback
- Coordinate with clients, team members, contractors, and vendors to ensure successful project implementation
**Skills:**
- Proficiency with architectural sketching techniques
- Experience with Google docs and other project workflow processes (we use Asana)
- Strong drafting skills with attention to detail
- Intermediate or better Spanish
- Experience with CAD software for landscape design projects is a bonus
- Ability to create project schedules and manage timelines effectively
- Ability to manage and keep project details organized and well-communicated to all key stakeholders
- Background in landscape architecture, landscape design, or related field
This is an exciting opportunity for a creative and organized individual with a passion for landscape design to showcase their skills and contribute to the creation of beautiful outdoor spaces.
