Remote Landscape Design Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview

If you're someone who enjoys focused, independent work and prefers a role where you can be self-directed, this position may be a great fit for you. Candidates with experience in mapping, property appraisal, inspections, GIS, data collection, data entry, land surveying, or any outdoor, detail-oriented fieldwork tend to excel here. If you're comfortable on ladders (up to 30 feet), appreciate technology, and enjoy working solo, keep reading.

Tools Fully Provided

You'll receive all the equipment you need, from advanced tech devices to measurement tools. We set you up so you can work efficiently on your own.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who enjoys structured, independent work. You will have a lot of autonomy in this role with the ability to set up a lot of your daily schedule. You'll succeed if you can:

• Travel out of state Monday-Friday (home most weekends)
• Use your own reliable vehicle capable of carrying a 6-foot ladder and long-distance travel
• Work outdoors in all weather conditions, climb ladders up to 30 feet, and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Use technology confidently (iPads, laptops, mobile apps, photography technology)
• Follow detailed instructions with accuracy and care
• Stay focused, organized, and self-motivated while working alone

What Your Day Looks Like

You'll independently drive or fly to commercial properties-like shopping centers, warehouses, or office parks-to capture precise data. This includes using 3D cameras, laser measurement tools, and specialized software to document:

• Building measurements
• Sprinkler and HVAC locations
• Windows, signage, and landscaping
• Utility meters, dumpsters, and parking details
• Interior and exterior features requiring accurate documentation

Most of your time is spent gathering data, taking measurements, and then inputting data while ensuring accuracy. Communication with property managers to gather access information is necessary for appointments and arrival times. Overall, while communication is minimal, you must be comfortable assertively and proactively reaching out to your Regional Manager as well as asking questions to trainers, mentors, and peers. Communication happens remotely and is typically brief and professional but must be clear.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You Have Experience In:

Site surveys, inspections, CAD, or GIS mapping, and data entry

Construction, HVAC, electrical, or similar hands-on fields

Land surveying, utility locating, archaeology, drone photography, or other remote fieldwork

Veterans are welcome!!!

Why This Role Stands Out

If you enjoy traveling, working quietly and independently, and using technology to help support solving problems, this role offers a unique blend of autonomy, routine, and adventure. You'll explore new locations, build technical skills, and create accurate property data that drives decision-making in the commercial real estate industry.

As part of our commitment to employee development, you'll also have the opportunity to receive company-sponsored drone training and earn your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification. We'll provide the training, cover the certification costs, and supply the equipment-giving you the opportunity to expand your skills with cutting-edge technology while growing your career.

There is room for growth, mentoring others, and even movement within other departments if you've demonstrated success in the field.
