  • Strong graphic representation, data visualization, and technical drafting skills, with an understanding of how to translate design intent into clear construction documentation

  • Familiarity with landscape-related codes, standards, and permitting processes, with an interest in learning regulatory frameworks that shape site design
  • Understanding of ecological and environmentally responsive design approaches, including low-impact development (LID) and nature-based solutions
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams and adapt to fast-paced project environments
  • A proactive attitude - eager to learn, ask questions, and contribute ideas to improve design and process
  • Excellent communication skills and attention to detail, with an openness to feedback and guidance
