About the role

Walker Macy is seeking a landscape architect or landscape designer with 4-8 years of professional experience for our Portland, OR office to assist in the design and technical development of projects. We are looking for candidates with enthusiasm and energy for design, and a willingness to jump in and try new things. Walker Macy is a design firm that provides landscape architecture, urban design, and planning services throughout the Western United States. We are a Women-Owned Business and Equal Opportunity Employer. We focus on public projects such as parks, waterfronts, and campuses and our broad range of work includes site design for civic and cultural buildings, interpretive centers, and mixed-use development. We have a collaborative team culture with a commitment to innovative design, sustainability, and client relationships. This position requires a professional degree in landscape architecture (BLA or MLA), a strong sense of spatial design and experience developing design studies, strong graphic representation abilities, and experience producing design development or construction documents for medium or large-scale projects. Our ideal candidate will be self-motivated and flexible with strong communication skills, a willingness to take initiative and an interest in working as part of a team. Experience coordinating with other design and engineering consultants as well as professional teammates is essential. Professional experience working in AutoCAD or Revit, Adobe Creative Suite and 3D modelling is required. Knowledge of LandFx and an interest in planting design is also beneficial.

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.
