Junior-Level Landscape Designer

At Sasaki we purposefully take on challenging work that we see as opportunities to evolve and stretch. As such, we look for teammates who are excited to engage fully from the get-go. Ideas matter tremendously around here and as a Sasaki designer you will be encouraged to have a point of view, to share your thinking often, to push design further, and to develop a comfortable rapport with clients. For a mid-sized firm, we guard our small-firm feel focusing less on hierarchy than on working together to yield the best designs.

The most successful candidates can deliver design excellence, attention to detail, organization and time management skills, and potential to grow into leadership roles over time. Not every designer needs to deliver on all of these attributes at once, but this is the mix of talent we seek. If you think you can add something special to our team and our practice we would love to hear from you.

This role has openings in our Denver, Boston, or Brooklyn locations.

Design chops – you’ve got vision, creativity, and skills.  You’re comfortable generating new ideas quickly through sketching, model making, and diagramming.

Growth-orientation – you’re curious and want to find greater ways to impact the world around you

Humanistic sensibility – you design for people and you generally enjoy working with others
