CAREERS AT SURROUNDINGS
Great design starts with great people. Our studio thrives on collaboration, creativity, and curiosity, and we are always eager to meet passionate designers who want to grow with us.
Based in the high desert of Santa Fe, our work stretches across the American West, from New Mexico to West Texas and Colorado, where we shape landscapes that are regionally rooted and nationally recognized. As a member of our closely-knit team, you will engage in every facet of landscape architecture and planning, from concept through construction. We value mentorship, hands-on learning, and the chance for every team member to expand their skills while contributing to the collective vision.
We offer competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and a studio culture that supports work-life balance. Unique to Surroundings, we provide annual ski passes (or an equivalent bonus for non-skiers), powder days off, and the chance to live and work in one of the most beautiful recreational regions in the country.
If you are ready to bring your talent, perspective, and energy to a practice devoted to enduring design and regional stewardship, we would love to see your work.
