Landscape Architec ($85k-95k)

A well-established Dallas-based landscape architecture and planning firm is seeking an experienced Landscape Architect to join its collaborative design studio. The firm works across a diverse range of project types, including intimate gardens, civic spaces, public realms, recreation-focused environments, and large-scale master planning.

As Landscape Architect, you will help lead projects from early concept through construction while collaborating with planners, urban designers, architects, engineers, clients, and community stakeholders. This role offers the opportunity to create thoughtful, enduring spaces that respond to people, place, ecology, and long-term use.

Performance Objectives

• Lead multiple landscape architecture projects each year from concept through construction documentation while maintaining design quality, schedule, and budget.
• Integrate ecological, cultural, recreational, and community considerations into site planning and landscape design.
• Produce clear drawings, renderings, construction documents, and presentations that communicate design intent to clients, agencies, consultants, and contractors.
• Coordinate closely with planners, urban designers, architects, and engineers to identify and resolve site constraints early in the design process.
• Manage projects through schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration.
• Mentor junior designers and contribute to a studio environment that values thoughtful critique, technical quality, and strong design.
• Develop lasting client relationships through responsive communication, strong project delivery, and consistent follow-through.

Environment & Resources

You will work from a Dallas studio alongside landscape architects, planners, urban designers, and firm leadership.

The team utilizes AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, GIS, and other industry-standard design and production tools. Site visits and occasional project-related travel may be required.

The studio offers direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to design decisions, project strategy, and client relationships.

Essential Qualifications

• Licensed Landscape Architect or ability to obtain Texas licensure.
• 5+ years of professional landscape architecture experience.
• Portfolio demonstrating built work across public realm, civic, commercial, residential, recreation, or similar project types.
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects from schematic design through construction administration.
• Experience producing complete and buildable construction documentation.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and relevant design, graphics, and production software.
• Strong written, verbal, graphic, and presentation skills.
• Ability to communicate complex design concepts effectively to clients, agencies, consultants, contractors, and community stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of regional ecology, planting design, horticulture, site planning, and applicable codes.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple project priorities.

Role Selling Points

• Meaningful project variety: Work across civic spaces, public realms, gardens, recreation environments, master plans, and other landscape-focused projects.
• Full project involvement: Participate from early concept and planning through documentation and construction.
• Design influence: Take an active role in shaping projects rather than working exclusively in production.
• Direct leadership access: Collaborate closely with principals and senior designers throughout the project process.
• Collaborative studio environment: Work alongside landscape architects, planners, urban designers, architects, and engineers.
• Career development: Opportunity to mentor junior staff while continuing to expand your own design, technical, and project leadership experience.
• Dallas-based opportunity: Join an established design practice with work extending across Texas and additional markets.

If you are an experienced Landscape Architect looking for greater project ownership, meaningful design responsibility, and the opportunity to create enduring outdoor environments, this position offers an excellent next step.
