· 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

· Coordinating with internal staff, consultants, contractors, and field teams on active golf and private club projects

· Supporting the continued growth, organization, and delivery of work within the Cotleur & Hearing Golf Division

· Experience in landscape architecture, golf, private club, recreation, resort, or high-end landscape projects strongly preferred

· 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

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

· Ability to manage and support 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
