Job Opportunities
Land+Shelter is seeking qualified candidates with at least 5 years of experience to join the L+S team.
We are hiring for multiple positions, the following applications will be considered: senior project manager, project manager and job captain. Work from home or from our office in Carbondale, Colorado. Remote locations are OK but applicants must be full time residents of the United States and live within driving distance of the office (3-4 hrs away ok). No exceptions. The majority of our work is located in the Roaring Fork Valley and on-site project access is a requirement. For this round of candidate review, we will give a strong preference to Carbondale local candidates (<1 hr), although for the right hire, remote elsewhere in the state of Colorado is still a possibility.
Land+Shelter is so named to underscore a balance between the built environment and the landscape. We practice this design philosophy within the majestic canvas of the Rocky Mountains.
We’re excited to add new members to our team and are looking for individuals who share our devotion to design. We’re a small firm, and employees must be well rounded to fit our needs well. Individuals must be able to manage time and project deliverables independently. We combine hand sketching, Sketchup, Revit, and Lumion in our production workflow, and we expect folks to be competent in these programs or at least be adept at learning software. But overall – we’re looking for a philosophy and personality fit as much as anything else.
It’s important that applicants understand Colorado and are familiar with the area from Glenwood Springs to Aspen where most of our projects are located. Our portfolio of work splits pretty evenly between institutional and residential work. Work on the boards includes multifamily/mixed-use, aquatics, early childhood education, and custom residences.
Consistent office hours are expected although the specific hours of the day are flexible. We make reasonable allowances for parenting, personal time, powder days, and long weekends. Active community engagement and nonprofit participation outside of work hours is encouraged, and we offer paid time off to encourage community engagement. Land+Shelter offers competitive salaries, commensurate to AIA compensation averages for Mountain Regions. The benefits package includes standard vacation and medical, plus overtime, community service paid time off, sick pay, continuing education, and a 401k matching benefit.
Applicants please send resume, portfolio, cover letter, and at least two recent references to employment@landandshelter.com. Note: Applicants sending work examples without collecting them into a portfolio format will not be considered.
