Landscape Architect

Role

The Landscape Architect will lead the end-to-end landscape design, coordination, and delivery for a flagship 100+ acre public site being developed by Reliance. The role involves driving design excellence, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, ensuring execution quality on site, and establishing a landscape vision aligned with Reliance’s goals.
