- 5+ years of professional experience in landscape design or site development
- Proficiency in AutoCAD (experience with Civil 3D is a plus)
- Strong understanding of grading, drainage, and site layout fundamentals
- Proficient with planting design, materials, and construction documentation
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work within multidisciplinary teams
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience supporting municipal, commercial, or institutional projects
