The Work
LAUSD needs a Senior Landscape Architect to lead its Landscape Unit. You run the staff, the projects, and the programs that plan, design, and build landscape and greening work on District school sites, and you are the Landscape Architect of Record on the projects the District designs in house. Your name goes on the plans.
On in-house projects you set the design direction. On consultant projects you give the outside landscape architects and design firms their technical direction and hold them to the District's standard, and you negotiate their scopes, proposals, and task orders. You get out to the sites, see what is actually there, and fix what is going wrong in design or installation.
The work also faces the community. Principals, teachers, parent groups, and nonprofits all have a stake in what a schoolyard becomes. You hear them out, decide what belongs in the project, and build it in.
Compensation
Salary range: $180,000 to $197,000 per year, based on experience.
Benefits: health, dental, and vision at low cost; 401k; three weeks of PTO; and an ESOP (employee stock ownership) at no cost to you, with a 3% Safe Harbor contribution vested on day one.
Why MAAS
MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50+ educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential. You are not chasing the next contract.
As a MAAS employee, you are also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP, a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.
In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it is a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other.
