· Walking project sites, reviewing field conditions, documenting issues, and helping resolve construction-related items

· Supporting driving range, short game area, practice facility, clubhouse-area, landscape, recreation, and other club improvement projects

· Providing creative design ideas that are practical, buildable, and appropriate for private club work

· Supporting construction administration, site observation, landscape coordination, and project follow-through

· Mentoring and supporting internal staff assigned to golf and private club projects

· Helping establish systems, standards, and processes for the continued growth of the Cotleur & Hearing Golf Division

· Traveling regularly to active golf and private club project sites, including local South Florida clubs and west coast Florida club projects, typically on a weekly basis

· A genuine interest in golf, private clubs, and the details that make these projects successful

· Strong design skills with the ability to think creatively, practically, and with an understanding of how projects are built

· Strong understanding of landscape architecture, site planning, permitting, construction administration, and field coordination

· Ability to lead multiple active projects in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment

· Strong communication skills and comfort coordinating with clients, consultants, contractors, superintendents, and field teams

· Ability to attend weekly project site visits and OAC meetings

· AutoCAD experience strongly preferred

· Degree in Landscape Architecture, Planning, Design, Construction Management, or related field preferred

Additional experience that would be a strong plus:
