• Creating visually engaging presentations that clearly communicate design intent

• Prepare visually engaging client presentations using company templates to communicate design intent effectively

• Collaborating with internal teams and external partners throughout the project lifecycle

Driving quality through creativity and teamwork

You have proven experience in design - ideally within landscape architecture, architecture, industrial design, or playground design - and you’re confident working across concept development, technical documentation, and cross‑team collaboration. You thrive and enjoy managing multiple priorities, and take pride in delivering high‑quality, compliant design solutions.

Moreover, we imagine you have/are:

• A confident communicator who can clearly explain design ideas to colleagues, partners, and clients.

• Strong technical skills in AutoCAD, supported by experience with 3D tools and Adobe Creative Suite.
