Full Job Description
This isn't just a management role; it is a platform for a visionary leader to define the future of the Texas landscape.

The ideal candidate is a blend of technical strategist and relationship builder-someone who possesses the "design-eye" to create sustainable outdoor spaces and the "business-mind" to expand our footprint in a competitive market. If you are a dynamic leader driven by the challenge of solving complex puzzles and inspired by the mission to enhance public life, your next chapter starts here.

Your Impact
  • Lead & Design: Direct the end-to-end lifecycle of high-profile parks and trails projects, from initial scope and budgeting to final construction.
  • Advise & Collaborate: Act as the primary liaison for clients, contractors, and government officials, ensuring seamless project delivery.
  • Technical Oversight: Mastermind project design elements, including site layouts, grading, stormwater management, and utilities.
  • Grow the Vision: Identify new business opportunities and mentor junior staff to maintain our high standard of quality control and innovation.

What You Bring
  • Education & Licensure: A Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or Civil Engineering with an active L.A. or P.E. license.
  • Experience: At least 3+ years in land/site development (site planning, drainage, and entitlements). Six or more years of experience is preferred.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD/Civil 3D and Microsoft Office.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, a proactive "can-do" attitude, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
  • Logistics: A valid driver's license and the flexibility for occasional overnight travel.
  • The "Plus" Factor: Experience with government agencies, community associations, and a working knowledge of grant funding sources.


What's in it for you?
  • Ownership: Participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
  • Financial Growth: Competitive salary, a 401(k) with company match, and a quarterly incentive bonus program.
  • Well-being: Comprehensive health and wellness offerings, plus a dedicated wellness reimbursement program.
  • Professional Development: Continuing education opportunities to help you reach the next level of your career.
  • Culture: We value quality people and aim to give you the freedom to do what you do best every day.
