About the role
Senior Landscape Project Manager & Estimator — Kirkland, WAIf you can design a landscape, price it, and stand behind the number, we should talk. The job You'd run residential design-build projects start to finish: your design, your estimate, your budget, your client, first meeting through final walkthrough. Nobody hands you a number for a client they've never met, and you don't hand your project to a PM who wasn't in the room when it sold. Figure on about $1.5M in annual sales — and you write the change orders that keep it profitable. Who you'd work with We design and build across the Eastside: Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Woodinville, Bothell, Kenmore, Sammamish, Seattle and Mercer Island. Our install crews are in-house, and they work out of the same Kirkland yard you would. Four other estimator/designers are here, each running their own projects and their own consults. Our maintenance division keeps a lot of what we build, so three years from now you can drive past a job and see it the way you drew it. That doesn't happen as often in this business as it should. The day Some office, some field. Full-time and on-site — not remote, not hybrid. Crews start at 7:00, and most days you'd be at the yard for the open and the close. That's when the useful conversations happen, and it's how jobs stay on schedule. Two things to know before you apply We answer fast. Clients hear back the same day, every time, even when the answer is "still working on it." It's a big part of why they hire us, and it's the habit we hire for. We're small. Fewer layers, less process, more of the result actually yours. If you've worked at a small company and liked it, you already know the trade.
What we're looking for:
5+ years designing, estimating and managing residential design-build landscape projects Strong horticultural knowledge — Pacific Northwest plant material, siting, soils, establishmentA degree in landscape design, landscape architecture or horticulture preferred but not required Knowledge of proper construction techniques Comfortable pricing your own work Valid driver's license
What we offer:
Medical, vision and dental. 401(k) with company match. Generous PTO. Plant material discounts. And a career path for core positions that's actually written down — one of the few companies our size that publishes one. Send a resume and photos of installed work to info@classilandscaping.com.#Landscape Architecture #Landscape Design #Hiring #Seattle Jobs #Design Build #Project Management #Horticulture
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
