Job Description

Come and join Weber Thompson’s Landscape Studio! We are a small (4 people) but mighty team in an office of over 70 architecture and interior design professionals. That means we have both flexibility and autonomy on our projects, but have a wealth of resources to support us. Our projects are urban, modern and sustainable; they range from luxury high rise rooftop terraces and street fronts to complicated affordable housing campuses, to projects dedicated to improving our water ways to save the salmon population. Sustainable strategies are at the heart of our projects, many of which pursue LEED, Living Building Challenge, and Salmon-Safe certification, among others. We approach projects with an emphasis on making meaningful connections within the urban fabric, innovating with ambitious green stormwater infrastructure, and improving the health, equity and beauty of each environment. If you are our next team member, you have a few projects under your belt, have been the person behind the scenes managing projects day-to-day, and are ready to take a larger role working with clients and consultants to shape the design. You have a positive attitude, stay cool under pressure, and are looking to work on a range of project types and scales. You are also passionate for plants in the urban context and excel at designing planting plans.You would have seen at least one or two projects from conception through completion; ideally for private development clients. You are organized, can think creatively to solve problems and understand the technical details of landscapes over structure. Most of our projects are in Seattle and surrounding areas so experience with the City of Seattle is a plus!

We work in a light filled, passively cooled office building in the middle of the highly energized South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle.
