This role is well-suited to a technically strong Landscape Architectural Technologist who enjoys producing construction documentation, coordinating with contractors, and spending time both in the field and in the studio supporting projects through construction.

• Prepare and coordinate technical drawing packages and landscape contract documentation
• Produce CAD drawings and maintain project documentation within established digital standards
• Assist with quantity take-offs and preliminary cost estimates
• Collaborate with landscape architects, engineers, and multidisciplinary teams to resolve technical details and support project delivery
• Maintain communication with project managers and contractors to coordinate construction activities and address project issues
• Mentor junior technologists and designers while continuing to develop technical skills and industry knowledge

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in landscape architecture, consulting, or design environments 
• Demonstrated experience producing construction documentation and landscape contract drawing packages
• Hands-on experience supporting construction review, field inspections, and contractor coordination

• Experience using Adobe Photoshop and familiarity with GIS tools
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work directly with contractors, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams
• Valid Class 5 driver’s license and willingness to travel to project sites as required

Assets (Nice to Have)

• Experience with Revit or BIM environments
• Familiarity with Calgary development permit processes and municipal standards
• Experience supporting public realm or municipal landscape projects
• Eligibility for or registration as a Landscape Architectural Technologist (LAT) with the Alberta Association of Landscape Architects (AALA)
