Job description

Pennoni is seeking a Graduate Landscape Architect to join our Leesburg, VA office and support a wide range of public and private site development, land development, and municipal projects throughout the region. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent or upcoming landscape architecture graduate to gain hands-on experience with site planning, planting design, grading coordination, permitting, construction documents, and interdisciplinary project delivery while working closely with experienced landscape architects, engineers, planners, and project managers.
Primary Responsibilities:
  • Assist with the preparation of land development, landscape architecture, and municipal project documentation.
  • Support the development and review of landscape plans, planting plans, hardscape plans, site plans, grading plans, construction details, and related permit materials.
  • Coordinate with civil engineers, planners, surveyors, and other project team members to integrate landscape architecture components into broader site development plans.
  • Review local ordinances, zoning requirements, design guidelines, and agency comments applicable to assigned projects.
  • Contribute to graphic exhibits, presentation materials, and technical plan packages used for client, agency, and public review.
  • Perform limited field observations or site visits, as needed, to support design development and construction documentation.
  • Additional tasks may be assigned, as needed.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or a related discipline. Recent and upcoming graduates are encouraged to apply.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Internship, co-op, academic studio, or prior work experience related to landscape architecture, land development, site planning, urban design, or municipal design projects.
  • Exposure to greenfield development, redevelopment, streetscape, campus, civic, residential, or mixed-use projects is a plus.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe tools; familiarity with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Adobe Creative Cloud, Bluebeam Revu, and related design or production software is preferred.
  • Familiarity with modeling, visualization, or rendering programs such as SketchUp, Lumion, and/or Revit is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of ArcGIS or other mapping and analysis tools is a plus.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and contribute effectively in a fast-paced project environment.
  • Ability to work independently while also collaborating closely with multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Strong verbal, written, and graphic communication skills.
