Full Job Description Join the team as a Landscape Designer or Landscape Architect, and through the role of project quality control and management, become an integral part of transforming visionary landscape designs into stunning realities across British Columbia and beyond. We're seeking a dynamic and experienced individual who is passionate about creating beautiful, sustainable, and bespoke residential landscapes that leave a lasting impact.

In this key hands-on role, you'll partner with our talented team of designers and horticulturalists, focusing on project delivery and on-site communications.
