A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

As a Landscape Designer specializing in outdoor recreation, you'll be essential to the success of our Outdoor Recreation department, flexing your creative thinking and technical skills across projects like new park and trail design as well as park and trail rehabilitation work. You start by analyzing surveys, field notes, and existing conditions assessments to develop the most effective strategy for completing the work on time and on budget, whether it involves a major park rehabilitation or designing a new multi-use trail system.

This includes striving to identify potential constraints and brainstorming creative workarounds. Attentive to detail, you research relevant ordinances, codes, and best practices to ensure compliance before developing and presenting conceptual diagrams and narratives for approval. You then use AutoCAD to create detailed landscape and civil plans, including site layout, grading, and construction details for projects ranging from new park amenity areas to complex trail alignments, even performing hydraulic calculations for irrigation when needed. Throughout this process, you keep project managers and design staff updated on your progress, proactively addressing revisions and serving as a key component in successfully completing projects that enhance community outdoor spaces.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

• Bachelor's degree in landscape architecture OR equivalent experience
• High proficiency with AutoCAD 3D visualization software, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office
• Strong visual depth perception and the ability to distinguish colors
• Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record

Working knowledge about or experience with Lumion, SketchUp, or Rhino would be preferred but is not required. Relevant CAD design experience would be a huge bonus! Strong hand-drawn graphic skills would also be a plus. Are you extremely organized and detail-oriented? Do you have excellent communication skills? Can you manage your time well and prioritize multiple tasks? Are you a quick-thinking problem solver? Do you work well with a team? If yes, you might just be perfect for this AutoCAD position!
