Landscape Architect

Design empowers people, strengthens communities, and shapes places that are built to adapt. At Stantec, our Landscape Architects bring a systems-based, and resilience-focused approach to design—connecting public realm, ecology, infrastructure, and community priorities to create places that are beautiful, functional, and prepared for the future. Grounded in social, economic, and environmental sustainability, our work reflects the power of diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver lasting impact.

Our team members have opportunities to work on projects across the United States, including visioning, master planning, community design, parks and recreation, commercial and corporate campuses, state and federal projects, healthcare, urban design and revitalization, environmental resilience and green infrastructure, transportation planning and design, and landscape restoration and rehabilitation. These diverse opportunities are delivered through collaboration with experts across North America—because we are better together.

Our US East Landscape Architecture and Planning team includes more than 30 professionals across multiple states, with Boston, MA serving as a key hub. Wherever we are located, we collaborate as one unified team to deliver thoughtful, high-quality design solutions.

Your Opportunity

Stantec is seeking a Principal Landscape Architect/Design Director to lead the design vision and help grow our Boston-based Landscape Architecture practice within Stantec’s Infrastructure team. This is a leadership opportunity for a senior practitioner who brings a strong design point of view, the judgment to elevate the work of others, client relationships, and a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset to help a growing team thrive. The Principal Landscape Architect will help shape the future of the practice by advancing design excellence, mentoring staff, strengthening client partnerships, and positioning Stantec for complex public realm, resilience, infrastructure, and community development projects across Boston and the broader Northeast. As Design Director, you will shape the studio’s creative direction, lead studio-wide design critiques and reviews, and cultivate a collaborative culture that elevates the quality of every project. 

In this role, you will serve as both a design leader and practice builder—guiding multidisciplinary teams, championing design quality from concept through construction, leading business development strategy, and helping create a strong, collaborative studio culture within Stantec’s Boston Infrastructure team. You will strengthen connections with Stantec’s internal architecture, environmental, engineering, planning, and infrastructure disciplines to deliver integrated solutions for complex public realm, resilience, infrastructure, and community development projects.
