Job Details
Overview:
Tennessee State Parks are growing, and we need a Landscape Architect & Designer to help shape the next generation of parks. This contract position (through Covendis, up to two years) will join the Strategy & Planning team at TDEC, collaborating with State Parks, Natural Areas, Archaeology, and Outdoor Recreation.
You’ll turn big ideas into site-specific concepts that balance resource protection, visitor experience, and thoughtful design. Work will include both technical design (CAD, GIS, renderings, presentations) and fieldwork in Tennessee’s forests, rivers, and open spaces. Typical projects range from trailheads and campgrounds to day-use areas, cabins, and landscape restoration.
Key Responsibilities Include:
• Develop concept and schematic designs (plans, renderings, 3D sketches).
• Draft and maintain CAD bases tied to GIS data.
• Produce site analyses, alternatives, and phasing plans.
• Support public workshops and design charrettes.
• Align projects with accessibility standards and TSP brand/design guidelines.
• Deliverables include concept alternatives, preferred concepts with phasing, CAD plans, and presentation materials.
Preferred Experience & Qualifications:
• 5+ years in landscape architecture/design (parks, trails, civic, or campus).
• Proficient in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and SketchUp (or similar) and familiar with GIS workflows (shapefiles, georeferencing, exports).
• Ability to create concept, schematic, and phasing plans.
• Knowledge of ADA/ABA universal design standards.
• Willing and able to travel statewide and work outdoors
• Portfolio required with conceptual and CAD work (include at least one nature-based project)
