We focus on designing and developing comprehensive construction document plan sets for high-end residential projects across South Florida, working on luxury properties such as multi-acre estate homes, waterfront estates, country club communities, horse farm properties, and other upscale residences.

Our design expertise spans a wide range of services, starting with landscape planting plans that enhance the natural beauty of each property. We provide detailed hardscape plans, including driveway, pool, and pool deck designs, as well as patios, walkways, retaining walls, decks, docks, fencing, and gates.

Job Description:

M.Hudson Design, a leader in high-end residential landscape architecture, is seeking a talented and driven Junior Designer / Landscape Architect to join our design team. This is an exciting opportunity for an emerging professional to take on a key role in developing design sets, managing the design process, and collaborating directly with a Senior Landscape Architect.

As a Junior Designer / Landscape Architect, you will be responsible for developing all aspects of the design process, from preliminary concepts to master planning, and final construction details. You will work closely with your design team to manage project timelines, coordinate work orders, and ensure that all deliverables meet the highest standards of quality.

In this role, you will no longer be required to draft landscape plans in AutoCAD. Instead, your focus will be on design and project management. You will be provided with a new iPad Pro and trained in the Morpholio Trace App, where we implement the majority of our design deliverables. While you will still have access to AutoCAD when necessary, your primary responsibility will be to conceptualize and lead the design process.

You will have direct client interaction, coordinating meetings, presenting plans, gathering feedback, and moving projects forward toward successful completion. Your role will involve strong communication skills, as you’ll be working closely with clients to understand their needs and translate them into thoughtful, functional designs.

As a Junior Designer, you will be eligible for performance bonuses based on your team’s success. A detailed outline of our bonus structure will be provided during the interview process.

Upon mastering the Junior Designer role and obtaining your Landscape Architecture License, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a Senior Landscape Architect. In this leadership role, you will lead your own team, drive sales, and have the potential to essentially run your own business within M.Hudson Design—offering unlimited earning potential and a clear path for professional growth.

This position is a full-time, permanent role, offering the chance to work in a dynamic, innovative, and growth-oriented environment where you can shape your career and contribute to our continued success.

  • Developing Preliminary Design Concepts: Assist in creating initial design concepts based on the provided program. You will transform these early-stage ideas into detailed technical drawings and construction documents, ensuring that all elements are clearly defined and actionable.

  • Design Development and Refinement: Take design sketches and concepts and refine them into precise, actionable plans that align with both client expectations and technical requirements. Your attention to detail will be key in bringing designs to life.

  • Creating Presentation Graphics: Oversee the development of 2D color-rendered plans, 3D graphics, and videos to visually communicate design ideas and bring your concepts to life. These presentations will play a critical role in client engagement and decision-making.

  • Client Interaction and Communication: Engage with clients to manage communication, ensure timely updates, and keep the project moving forward. Your ability to present plans effectively during online design meetings will build trust and ensure the design vision aligns with client needs.

  • Active Listening and Client Understanding: Ask insightful questions to gain a deep understanding of client needs, desires, and feedback, ensuring the final designs reflect their vision while maintaining project feasibility and integrity.

  • Quality Control: Take responsibility for ensuring all designs are accurate, meet local codes and regulations, and align with the high standards set by the design team. Accuracy and compliance are essential to project success.

  • Project Management: As a project manager, ensure the project is delivered on time and within budget, coordinating all aspects of the design process, maintaining clear communication with stakeholders, and achieving exceptional results for clients.
