Senior Landscape Architect/ Lead DesignerHigh End Residential Landscape Design | Jupiter, FL | Hybrid After Ramp UpM. Hudson Design is hiring a Senior Landscape Architect to join our high end residential landscape design firm in Jupiter, Florida.
We are ideally looking for someone who is local to Jupiter, Palm Beach County, or the surrounding South Florida area. We are also open to candidates who are seriously willing to relocate to the Jupiter area.
This is a strong opportunity for someone with 5 to 7+ years of landscape architecture or high end residential landscape design experience who wants more ownership, more leadership, and more influence over the design process. We are looking for a hands on design leader who wants to mentor others, lead projects, and help shape the future of a growing firm.
This role is a fit for a licensed Landscape Architect, someone actively pursuing licensure, or an experienced landscape designer with the right background and ability to become licensed.
This is not a production only role. Our senior designers are supported by dedicated drafting and 3D graphics teams, so they can stay focused on design leadership, project quality, client vision, and mentoring.

About the RoleThe Senior Landscape Architect will lead luxury residential landscape design projects while working closely with the owner and internal team.

Work StructureThis is a hybrid role, but the first three months are expected to be in person at our Jupiter office. This allows the right person to learn the team, understand our process, build trust, and become fully integrated into the company.
After the initial ramp up period, the role can move into a hybrid structure for someone who has proven they can communicate well, lead effectively, and get the job done.
CultureOur culture is friendly, family based, flexible, and built on trust. We do not micromanage strong people, but we do value accountability, ownership, communication, and being involved.
This role is best for someone who wants to lead, mentor, and be part of the companyโs growth, not someone looking for a fully remote production role.
ApplyIf you are a Senior Landscape Architect or experienced residential landscape designer who wants to lead, mentor, and take on more ownership in a high end residential design firm, we would love to connect.
