From the design table to full project delivery
Citygreen intends to bring its installation business to the US, and we're hiring the person to lead it. You'll start as our technical voice on the West Coast: in design meetings with landscape architects and engineers, in front of city public works and urban forestry teams, and on site making sure our systems are built right. As installation comes to the US, this role is built to step into full project delivery: running installed projects, supervising subcontractors, and owning schedule and margin.
US$105,000 to US$130,000 base plus benefits, plus participation in Growth by Sharing.
If you're a landscape architect or landscape construction professional who has spent real time on site, and you'd rather shape projects and see them built than hand off drawings, this is the role.
About Citygreen
Citygreen designs and supplies engineered systems that let trees and stormwater infrastructure thrive in hard urban spaces, including StrataVault, StrataCell and DuraGrate. Our systems are specified by landscape architects, engineers and municipalities across North America and Australia. Our North American business is growing, and we need a technical lead on the ground.
The role
You'll be a valued member of the project consultancy team, alongside the landscape architect, the engineers and the city. You'll help shape designs before they're drawn, review what gets built, and hold the quality record.
You'll also be the most senior technical person in your time zone, with our head office in Sydney. That means making sound calls on your own and knowing which ones to escalate.
What you'll do
Design team and city consultancy
Sit in design team meetings with landscape architects and civil and stormwater engineers as Citygreen's technical voice, and help solve tree pit, soil volume and stormwater problems before they're drawn
Present to cities, including urban forestry, public works and stormwater teams, at design review and approval stage
Lead the technical side of specifier and client meetings alongside our sales team, from concept to bid
Deliver CPD and Lunch and Learn presentations to design firms and municipalities
Build relationships with specifiers and contractors in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle
Construction review and quality
Review installations against approved drawings: grades, dimensions, soil volumes, compaction, layering and connections
Own BuildPass review for all North American projects. Approve or reject evidence, raise non-conformances, and verify that corrective action holds
Keep the photographic and inspection record complete enough to defend a warranty claim
Pre-construction and coordination
Run pre-installation meetings with contractors covering sequencing, materials, tolerances and inspection points
Brief and, where needed, certify contractors who are new to Citygreen systems
Check drawing packages are buildable before they reach site, and send them back to our Design Studio when they aren't
Coordinate across engineers, utilities, and city public works and urban forestry departments, so conflicts are found on paper rather than in the trench
Answer technical questions from our sales team at design and specification stage
Requirements
What you'll bring
Credibility at the design table. You hold your own as a peer with landscape architects, engineers and city staff, contribute to design solutions, and present with confidence
5+ years in the landscape industry, with training in landscape architecture, landscape technology or landscape construction. Civil construction backgrounds are also considered
Hands-on site experience: construction administration as a landscape architect, or supervision of landscape installation as a site superintendent, construction manager or contractor-side project manager
Practical knowledge of excavation, compaction, drainage and soil profiles, and how pavement, utilities and tree soil interact below ground. We'll test this at…
