What are landscape structures?

Landscape structures are built or installed elements within outdoor environments that enhance functionality, aesthetics, and usability. These can include features such as playground equipment, gazebos, pergolas, retaining walls, benches, and water features. Landscape structures are designed to complement the natural surroundings and often serve as focal points, gathering spaces, or play areas. They are commonly used in parks, gardens, schools, and public spaces to create inviting and purposeful environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a landscape structures designer?

To thrive as a Landscape Structures Designer, you need expertise in landscape architecture, structural design, and site planning, often supported by a degree in landscape architecture or a related field. Proficiency with CAD software, 3D modeling tools, and familiarity with building codes and sustainable materials are typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help you collaborate effectively with clients, engineers, and construction teams. These skills ensure that landscape structures are both functional and aesthetically pleasing while meeting safety and environmental standards.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in landscape structures, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in landscape structures often encounter challenges like site-specific constraints, variable weather conditions, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders such as architects, contractors, and local authorities. Managing project timelines while ensuring both safety and aesthetic quality can also be demanding. To address these challenges, it's important to maintain clear communication, stay updated on the latest materials and construction techniques, and build strong relationships with team members and clients. Proactive problem-solving and flexibility are key to successfully overcoming unexpected issues on site.

AspectLandscape StructuresLandscape Architect
CredentialsTypically no formal certification requiredLicensed professional with degree and licensure

Industry UsageConstruction and product manufacturingDesign and planning services in landscape architecture

Landscape Structures primarily refers to a company specializing in designing and manufacturing outdoor play and recreational structures. In contrast, a Landscape Architect is a licensed professional who designs outdoor spaces, focusing on aesthetics, functionality, and environmental sustainability. While Landscape Structures employees may work closely with Landscape Architects, their roles differ in credentials, scope, and industry focus.

Job description

ABOUT LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES

Landscape Structures Inc. has been the leading manufacturer of commercial playground equipment in the world for more than 50 years. Our employee-owned company designs community and school playgrounds that encourage kids of all ages and abilities to learn persistence, leadership, competition, bravery, support, and empathy through play. Landscape Structures pushes the limits—of design, inclusion, and play—to help kids realize there is no limit to what they can do today and in the future. For a better tomorrow, we play today.

POSITION SUMMARY

Responsible for identifying, interpreting, and driving compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and market-access requirements affecting Landscape Structures' products, packaging, and materials across domestic and international markets. This role combines regulatory analysis, cross-functional leadership, and technical compliance expertise to identify applicable requirements, assess business impacts, and drive implementation of compliant solutions. Areas of responsibility may include materials regulations, product stewardship requirements, packaging regulations, producer responsibility programs, product safety regulations, and other emerging compliance obligations affecting LSI's products and markets. This role will also extend into compliance pertaining to playground, splash pad, and shade equipment standards (e.g., ASTM, CPSC).

DUTIES AND RESPONSABILITIES

Monitoring, Interpreting, and Managing Regulatory Compliance Requirements
  • In an environment of rapidly expanding regulatory requirements, this role will monitor and interpret applicability of laws. regulations, and market-access requirements at the federal level (e.g., CPSIA), state level (e.g., PFAS restrictions, EPR/packaging laws, BABAA), and international level (e.g., REACH) affecting Landscape Structures' products, packaging, materials, and associated business operations.
  • Maintain a current, organized view of which materials regulations apply to which products, materials, and jurisdictions – and proactively communicate requirements to ensure compliance.
  • Coordinate with other departments and teams to evaluate the potential impact of emerging regulatory developments with a focus on strategic positioning to reduce risk and ensure efficient operations.

Project Leadership

  • Drive materials compliance projects end-to-end: define scope, sequence work, coordinate with internal stakeholders (including Engineering, Procurement, and Legal teams), and track to completion.
  • In collaboration with internal stakeholders, establish priorities for enterprise compliance initiatives by balancing regulatory risk, business needs, resource requirements, and implementation timelines, while supporting efficient and uninterrupted manufacturing operations.
  • Develop and oversee implementation plans, milestones, and deliverables for compliance initiatives.

Supplier & Technical Coordination

  • Coordinate with external suppliers, service providers, regulatory agencies, industry organizations, and other stakeholders to obtain information, declarations, certifications, registrations, and supporting documentation necessary to achieve compliance.
  • Partner with Landscape Structures’ Product Development team to evaluate substitute materials or design changes needed to meet new or evolving materials requirements.
  • Advise on systems and documentation approaches to aid in ongoing compliance activities.
  • Coordinate responses to customer inquiries or requests pertaining to materials compliance matters.

Equipment Standards Awareness

  • Build working familiarity with playground/recreational equipment standards (e.g., ASTM F1487-25, CPSC guidelines, CSA, GPSR) and applicable jurisdiction-specific equipment laws.
  • Support equipment compliance efforts, with materials work taking precedence in the short term.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in materials science, chemistry, environmental science, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3–5+ years in regulatory compliance or materials management, ideally in manufacturing or consumer products
  • Working knowledge of, or demonstrated ability to rapidly learn and interpret, regulatory requirements affecting products, packaging, materials, producer responsibility obligations, and market access.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage multi-stakeholder projects and competing deadlines
  • Strong written communication for technical documentation and executive summaries
  • Highly self-directed and proactive, with the ability to anticipate compliance risks, develop solutions, and execute against objectives without the need for continuous direction.
