Full Job Posting
You Are
A creative problem solver who knows the power of well-drawn plans and details.
Interested in how things go together from pavers to planting, to on-structure assemblies, and everything in between.
Committed to seeing your designs built with excellence.
Interested in planting and knows a bit about it too.
A communicator with an opinion who can talk to your co-workers, contractors, and clients with clarity and confidence.
Comfortable on site, in boots or Blundstones… you know what PPE is and how to rock it.
Organized, proactive, and excited to grow with a team that values rigor and creativity equally.
Self-motivated and self-managing, but you also know that it’s ok to ask questions and to ask for help…We are a team after all, and we want you to succeed.
You Have
A degree in landscape architecture or a related field
2–5 years of experience (we’re flexible for the right fit)
Strong skills in AutoCAD, Adobe Suite, and Microsoft Office. Graphic programs like Rhino and SketchUp would be helpful. We are also using Revit; some experience with this would be great, but you can learn here too.
Experience with construction documentation, site observation, and construction administration.
A collaborative spirit and sense of humor (essential!)
A drive to see your work built.
Why Here, Why Now? Because the work matters. Because we believe landscape design is a tool for equity, resilience, and delight. Because we’re a studio that cares about mentorship, music playlists, ideas, late critiques, rooftop lunches, and making things that last.
Apply If You're Ready To
Sweat the details without losing the big picture.
Be part of an award-winning team shaping the Bay Area and beyond.
Bring your full self to the table and the field.
