Description

Ironwood Design Group is seeking a highly motivated Landscape Architect / Project Manager to join our growing firm in our Nashville office.

Landscape architecture is both an art and a science—an exterior realization of a concept. Ironwood Design Group understands and applies timeless design principles to every project. Our experienced team honors the aesthetics of pioneering thinkers while embracing innovation. We strive to enhance the spirit of every project and maintain the integrity of every installation. Ironwood Design Group values design theory, tradition, discernment, and innovation above all else. Every installation begins with our four proven design principles: form, experience, visualization, and movement.

We represent over 70 years of experience in Landscape Architecture and Land Planning. Our practice covers the following areas: Corporate and Commercial Environments, Residential Communities, Streetscapes and Public Spaces, Parks and Recreation, Hospitality and Resorts, and Therapeutic Gardens.

Our efforts also extend to solution-based services such as Conservation and LEED Design, Green Infrastructure, Master Planning, Reclamation, Urban Design, and Project Management. Ironwood Design Group is affiliated with national and local organizations, including ASLA, the Atlanta Apartment Association, USGBC, and ULI.

As a Landscape Architect / Project Manager on the Ironwood team, you will:

  • Deliver conceptual project vision by ensuring construction documents are completed to the highest level of detail.
  • Participate in project meetings with clients and consultants for coordination.
  • Keep and distribute meeting minutes to track action items, next steps, and responsible parties.
  • Utilize project management software to keep projects on schedule and within budgeted hours.
  • Communicate project schedules with the Studio Director to ensure deadlines are met.
  • Supervise junior staff to ensure they are executing assigned tasks to the highest level.
  • Provide QA/QC on projects.
  • Prepare planning and site designs consistent with Ironwood’s commitment to sustainable design.
  • Perform site analysis, including surveys of existing conditions and field measurements.
  • Conceptualize across a broad range of scales and project types, from master-planned communities to urban environments at both planning and detailed site design levels.
  • Ensure tasks are completed according to Ironwood’s standards.
  • Prepare contract documents, including details, sections, elevations, and schedules.
  • Produce amendments, addenda, and bulletins.
  • Assist in preparing adaptations and technical alternatives for project team review.
  • Collaborate with and assist junior staff in the completion of projects.
  • Utilize your skills in design application software.
