Love Outdoor Living? Design Where You Live It.

Are you a seasoned Landscape Architect with a passion for crafting breathtaking outdoor environments? Ready to leave behind city traffic and embrace mountain air, expansive skies, and design projects that are as awe-inspiring as the setting?

Join one of the country's leading high-end residential design-build firms, based in Sun Valley, Idaho —a world-class destination known for its natural beauty, luxury lifestyle, and tight-knit creative community. We create ultra-luxury outdoor spaces for elite clients, with project budgets ranging from $600K to $30M+.

This is a hands-on leadership role ideal for someone who thrives in nature, leads with confidence, and values creativity backed by craftsmanship. If you're the kind of designer who'd rather sip wine under the aspens than network at a cocktail bar, keep reading.

What You'll Do

Lead design and implementation of premier estate landscapes from concept to completion

Manage 6–7 concurrent large-scale design-build projects

Act as construction project manager onsite—coordinating field crews, engineers, and specialists

Collaborate with leadership to mentor junior talent and shape long-term vision

Embrace our seasonal workflow :

April–October : Field oversight, implementation, and site management

December–March : Design development and planning from the studio

This role is designed as a succession opportunity—you'll step into the shoes of a retiring senior leader, with the option to grow into equity and long-term leadership.

What You Bring

10+ years in high-end residential landscape architecture (design-build experience strongly preferred)

Mastery of both conceptual design and onsite construction management

Hands-on leadership—you're at home in the field and comfortable wearing boots

Strong organizational and coordination skills across trades and timelines

Landscape Architecture license is a plus but not required (compensation reflects ability to stamp drawings)

Experience running or owning a design-build firm is a strong asset

Excellent communication—visual, verbal, and interpersonal

A deep appreciation for outdoor living, ecological design, and rural beauty

You're a cultural fit if you prefer trailheads over traffic lights, and your idea of balance includes powder days, garden walks, or evenings by the fire under a starlit sky.

Relocation Assistance – We'll help you settle into a walkable mountain town home

Equity Potential – Be part of the firm's future, not just an employee

Leadership Track – Built-in succession plan with room to grow
