Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer (Mid- or Senior-Level)
We are excited to be growing our Denver landscape design studio and are seeking an experienced, mid-to senior-level Landscape Architect and/or Landscape Designer to join our diverse team of professionals. MIG supports a hybrid work-from-home/remote and in-office schedule, but encourages in-person work for learning and team-building opportunities. Some in-person work in our Denver office will be required for client meetings and team collaboration. Proof of up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination is required for in-person work.
Responsibilities
Collaborative Teammate: You will work as part of a cross-office, cross-discipline team that creates designs for communities, parks and recreation, streets, and programming of community facilities for public and private-sector clients across the U.S.
Project Work: You will support a team of landscape architects, planners, and project managers on landscape architecture projects in the public and private sector. Responsibilities will vary by project but will typically include assisting a lead designer or project manager with tasks such as site analysis, site design, problem solving, construction detailing, planting plans, selection and design of site amenities and paving systems, aesthetic detailing, and project research. This work will result in the production of conceptual and technical exhibits, illustrative graphics, and full construction document sets. Other responsibilities may include providing support in developing cost estimates, responding to construction submittals and questions, providing sub-consultant and client coordination, and attending client meetings.
Project Types: The projects you will typically work on will include streetscape design; park planning and design; site and landscape design for public and private buildings; campus master plans; children’s play environments; and community engagement (including online meetings and tools).
MIG works on projects nationwide; occasionally, some travel, evening, or weekend work may be required for community engagement, site evaluations, or to meet deadlines. MIG encourages a work-life balance and these excess hours can be offset during the week when possible.
