SENIOR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER - RESIDENTIAL DESIGN-BUILD
About The Position
We are seeking a Senior Landscape Designer to lead high-end residential design-build projects with direct ownership of client engagement, design development, and project closure. This is a hybrid design and sales role — not a pure design position. You will manage the complete project lifecycle from initial homeowner consultation through concept development, visual presentation, and signed contract, directly driving revenue and generating consistent backlog for installation crews. This role is best suited for a confident, client-facing designer who is comfortable selling, comfortable being measured on production, and motivated by the connection between their design work and tangible business results.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in residential landscape design or a design-build environment
- Proven track record of selling and closing landscape or outdoor living projects required
- Demonstrated experience working with high-end residential or estate-level clientele
- Proficiency in landscape design software with strong 3D modeling capability
- Polished client-facing, presentation, and consultative sales skills
- Ability to own the full project lifecycle from initial consultation through design and close
- Comfortable being directly measured on revenue production and backlog generation
- Residential design-build background required — commercial-only experience will not be considered
Responsibilities
- Meet with homeowners and estate-level clients to define project vision, goals, and budget parameters
- Develop residential landscape concepts, custom layouts, and outdoor living designs tailored to each client
- Produce 3D models and polished visual presentations to effectively communicate design intent
- Lead client presentations and sales conversations, positioning design-build solutions with confidence
- Close residential landscape projects typically ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 and above
- Generate consistent project backlog by converting active client opportunities into signed agreements
- Manage multiple concurrent client opportunities while maintaining a high standard of responsiveness
- Collaborate closely with field and installation teams to ensure accurate execution of design vision
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of design processes, client experience, and sales performance
Benefits
- Competitive base salary plus performance-based earnings including commission and bonus
- Health insurance and benefits package
- Retirement plan options
- Paid time off
