  • Ability to work in a hybrid arrangement from the Seattle (preferred) or the Portland office.
  • Licensed Landscape Architect in Washington and/or Oregon is preferred but not required.
  • Experience collaborating closely with biologists, engineers, hydrologists, and permitting specialists on restoration and mitigation projects.
  • Expertise with native plant communities, ecological planting design, and performance-based restoration outcomes.

  • Experience with traditional landscape architecture projects such as:
    • Parks, trails, and multi-use pathways
    • Urban and waterfront public spaces
