Job Description

Landscape Architect

Arterial | Montclair, NJ | Hybrid

Bringing Life to Streets and Public Spaces

Arterial is a respected boutique landscape architecture and urban design studio specializing in pedestrian-centric design of public spaces, streetscapes, greenways, and mixed-use development. We’re passionate about the places where people gather, move, and connect, and we bring that passion to every project we take on.

We’re a small, collaborative team where everyone plays an active role in shaping the work. Every day we’re changing the world that people live in, one street and public space at a time.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Landscape Architect with 3 to 5 years of experience to join our growing studio. This is not a siloed role. You will work across all phases of a project from concept through construction, collaborate directly with clients, and contribute to work that has real and visible impact on communities.

We love talking about streets, plazas, and the spaces between buildings. If that excites you too, we want to hear from you.

This is probably not the right fit for someone looking for a highly structured environment with narrowly defined responsibilities.

What You Will Do

Contribute to landscape architecture and urban design projects across all phases including concept, schematic design, design development, and construction documents

Develop drawings, renderings, and presentation materials using AutoCAD and Adobe Suite

Build 3D models and visualizations using SketchUp and Lumion

Meet directly with public and private clients and present ideas clearly and confidently

Support contract document development including construction plans and details in CAD

Develop illustrative plans, boards, booklets, and reports for client presentations

Collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, architects, and the broader team

Take ownership of an in-office initiative such as graphics, CAD standards, or AI tools

Actively participate in industry organizations and regional professional events as a representative of Arterial

What You Bring

Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture required

3 to 5 years of professional experience in landscape architecture or urban design with a focus on public realm, streetscape, or pedestrian-centric projects

Licensure preferred, candidates actively working toward licensure and with completed exam sections are strongly encouraged to apply

Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Adobe Suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign required

Working knowledge of SketchUp and Lumion, we use both daily and are happy to support your growth

Experience with Complete Streets, bicycle and pedestrian planning, or street design a plus

Experience developing construction documents and contract deliverables

Strong client-facing communication skills and comfort presenting to stakeholders

Working plant knowledge and familiarity with best practices in landscape architecture

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently while knowing when to ask for help

Genuine passion for public space and urban design, not just as a job but as a calling

Collaborative, low-ego approach, we do not need a superhero with a super ego

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Arterial does not provide visa sponsorship for this position

What We Offer

Salary commensurate with experience, licensure status, and qualifications. The posted range of $70,000 to $80,000 reflects candidates at the 3 to 5 year experience level without full licensure. Compensation is evaluated individually based on the full candidate profile

Medical benefits, paid time off, and an extensive holiday package

Birthdays off and summer flex hours

Professional development support including funding, study materials, and dedicated time for licensure exams and conferences

Easily accessible location in desirable Downtown Montclair

Hybrid schedule with flexibility, minimum 3 days in office
