Junior Landscape Designer + Project Manager
About The Position
Brooklyn Grange is a leading urban landscape design, installation, and maintenance firm specializing in green roofs, rooftop farms, terraces, courtyards, and public-facing spaces. Our work blends ecological function with thoughtful design, creating landscapes that are as resilient as they are visually compelling. This hybrid role sits at the intersection of design and execution. The Junior Landscape Architect / Junior Project Manager will support the full lifecycle of projects—from concept development through construction—while helping ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and at a high design standard. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants hands-on exposure to both creative design and the realities of building complex urban landscapes.
