## Description

**About Us**  
We are a small, tight-knit landscape architecture boutique based in Glenview, Illinois. We work on a mix of commercial, municipal, and institutional projects all over the Chicago area, including schools, parks, churches, and public spaces. Because we are a small team, you won’t just be stuck in a corner doing redlines. You will get real, hands-on experience and work directly with everyone in the office.

What You'll Do

We need an organized and detail-oriented individual to join us on-site to support our design team with project coordination and clerical tasks. On any given week, you'll be:

-   Helping us organize, log, and maintain physical and digital project files, site layouts, and construction sets.
-   Inputting project data, material counts, and technical specifications into our internal databases.
-   Preparing presentation folders, printing sets, and assembling materials for client meetings.
-   Maintaining our product vendor database and keeping our physical material and office library organized.
-   Assisting project managers with basic administrative design support to push projects forward.

What We’re Looking For

-   **Education:** High School Diploma or equivalent required. Current students or recent graduates looking for professional office experience are welcome to apply.
-   Excellent organizational skills and a sharp attention to detail.
-   High proficiency with computers, including basic spreadsheet software (Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets).
-   Familiarity or comfort navigating design files (like AutoCAD or Adobe formats) is a plus, but not required—we will train the right person.
-   Strong communication skills and a professional, team-oriented attitude.
-   You are organized, eager to learn, and not afraid to ask questions.

**What’s in it for You**

-   **Compensation:** Competitive hourly pay starting at $18.00 to $24.00 per hour, commensurate with experience.
-   **Workplace Structure:** This is a hybrid role based out of our Glenview office, blending in-office collaboration and drafting days with flexible remote work.
-   **Schedule:** Part-time or full-time flexible hours designed to seamlessly accommodate your studio and class schedules.
-   **Growth:** True mentorship, a look behind the scenes of how a boutique firm runs, and real project work to add directly to your professional portfolio.
