Job Description

 We’re excited to partner with a renowned architecture and landscape design firm based in Houston that’s known for its innovation, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. They’re looking to bring on a talented Landscape Architect who’s passionate about creating meaningful outdoor environments — from elegant residential gardens to thoughtfully designed community spaces.

This is more than just a design role — it’s a chance to make your mark on Houston’s growing landscape, joining a firm that truly values creativity, quality, and its people.


🌳 About the Opportunity:

Based in the heart of Houston, this firm has built a strong reputation for delivering beautifully functional outdoor environments that enrich lives and inspire connection. As a Landscape Architect, you’ll play a key role in shaping residential and urban landscapes that reflect both client visions and ecological responsibility. You’ll work alongside architects, designers, and planners in a collaborative setting where your voice and creativity matter.


🔍 What They’re Looking For:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Environmental Design, or a related field.

  • 3+ years of experience in residential landscape design (experience in Texas climates and plant materials is a major plus).

  • Strong design and technical proficiency with tools such as Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and Adobe Creative Suite.

  • A portfolio that demonstrates a clear understanding of site planning, planting design, hardscape detailing, and visual storytelling.

  • Experience in project coordination or management is a big advantage.

  • Strong communication skills — someone who can articulate ideas clearly to clients and collaborate smoothly with team members.

  • A self-starter with a passion for high-quality design, sustainability, and creating spaces people truly love.


🛠️ What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead and support the design and documentation of residential and mixed-use landscape projects from concept to completion.

  • Work closely with clients to understand their needs and translate vision into stunning, functional outdoor environments.

  • Manage aspects of project development including site analysis, planting plans, construction documentation, and material selection.

  • Collaborate with architects, contractors, consultants, and internal teams to ensure design integrity and technical feasibility.

  • Handle project planning, scheduling, and budgeting, ensuring deliverables meet expectations and deadlines.

  • Stay up-to-date with Houston’s local zoning regulations, climate-responsive strategies, and sustainable practices.


🌟 What Makes This Firm Stand Out:

  • A creative and collaborative culture where your ideas and growth are prioritized.

  • A diverse portfolio of award-winning work, with a strong pipeline of upcoming projects in residential, civic, and mixed-use development.

  • Based in Houston, a city that’s seeing exciting growth and transformation — and you’ll be part of that journey.

  • A workplace where design excellence meets down-to-earth leadership — no egos, just great work and great people.


🎁 What They Offer:

  • Competitive salary with regular reviews based on performance.

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance.

  • 401(k) with company match and profit-sharing.

  • Flexible scheduling with hybrid work-from-home options.

  • Generous PTO and paid holidays.

  • Support for continuing education, licensing, and professional development.
