Indigenous Construction professionals often navigate challenges such as ensuring cultural sensitivity on project sites, building trust with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders, and integrating traditional knowledge with modern construction practices. Addressing these challenges involves clear communication, fostering inclusive team environments, and ongoing cultural competency training. Many organizations also encourage mentorship and partnership with Indigenous communities to promote mutual learning and project success.

Incorporated in 1979, we have employees in more than 24 locations serving clients across the United States and overseas.
To meet client objectives and to integrate our many disciplines, we can create teams comprised of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and corrosion control, as well as project/construction managers and professionals in a variety of specialty services. This ability has made us a leader in the engineering and construction communities, and has strengthened our reputation as being progressive, innovative, and a great place to work.
Job Description
Designing a better world is more than a career, it's a calling! Come work with a team of professionals dedicated to design excellence at Coffman Engineers' Anchorage office.
Landscape Architect/Planner/Site Designer: Do you have a minimum of 3 years of working experience with landscape and site design projects? Do you have project management skills for coordinating with multi-disciplinary design teams? Do you have a desire to integrate indigenous culture into the built environment? Do you want to work in Alaska? If so, we want to talk to you!
The ideal candidate for this position is an early to mid - career landscape architecture professional, who demonstrates strong initiative, and thrives in a collaborative environment. In this role, the successful candidate will spearhead all aspects of design, and guide projects from initial concept development through to project closeout. This requires generating precise, production-ready two-dimensional and three-dimensional technical drawings and documentation using industry-standard CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks).
Additionally, the position involves managing project milestones and deliverables, ensuring that all work is completed on time, within scope, and within budget. Effective coordination with cross-functional teams and external consultants is essential to ensure that design specifications and quality standards are consistently met. This role requires some previous experience in architectural or engineering firms, the ability to independently manage multiple project deliverables with strong prioritization and time management, and exceptional communication skills for effective collaboration. A proactive approach to continuous improvement and problem-solving is also essential.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Landscape Architecture.
  • Minimum of 3 years' experience with landscape and site design projects.
  • Innovative thinker and thought leader.
  • Experienced project manager who can lead a client through the design process by interfacing with the client and leading the A/E design team, and contractor from the onset of a project through construction.
  • Ability to maintain design integrity as a project moves from concept design through construction documentation.
  • Ability to produce and guide the creative thought process for master planning, park design, site design and planting plan solutions.
  • Ability to communicate design intent by hand sketching early in the process and quickly converting sketches into a digital format (i.e. Photoshop/AutoCAD) to professionally convey the design intent.
  • Experience with AutoCAD, Revit and the Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Proficiency with producing construction documents for planting plans, playgrounds, court yards, building entry plazas, and drainage features.
  • Familiarity with northern building design and construction in remote Alaska, preferred.
  • Experience or ambition to work on commercial, military, and park projects, preferred.
  • The desire to integrate indigenous culture into the built environment.

In addition to the specifics of this position, Coffman looks for the following qualities in anyone we bring in to our team:
  • A positive, can-do attitude and the desire to be part of a team.
  • A client-focused ability to communicate effectively, provide a high level of attention to detail, and handle simultaneous deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills; combined hand drawing, written and verbal.
  • The ability to maintain flexibility within a large scope of responsibilities.
  • The ability to take direction and work independently while staying highly organized.

This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
