Landscape Architect

The Landscape Architect at UBC serves as a key connector between Campus Planning and Design and the Facilities department, embedding long-term stewardship, operational viability, and lifecycle performance into how the University’s public realm is planned, delivered, and sustained. The role goes beyond permit review, focusing on how current decisions affect future maintenance obligations, resource demands, risk exposure, and asset performance. The Municipal Landscape Architect acts as the principal liaison between operations, planning, and policy, representing maintenance interests early in the project lifecycle. The role leads the development of university policies on urban forestry, sustainability, and the public realm, while supporting technical standards through an operations-informed lens. **Preferred:** Experience in urban design, urban forestry, project management, and landscape architecture.
