Job Description
Overview:
The Landscape Architecture Extension Specialist will be an active connection between LAEP and the people who shape Utah’s places. By translating research and design thinking into practical, accessible tools, the successful candidate will provide statewide leadership to help communities, county Extension faculty, and practitioners meet the pressures of rapid growth, urban/rural interface conflicts, and water and resource scarcity facing Utah. Through service-learning and studio partnerships, the position will emphasize student success and give students real-world experience serving communities, so that each project strengthens both the places served and the next generation of professionals. In doing so, the specialist will advance LAEP’s vision of empowering individuals and communities to make aesthetically, ecologically, and socially responsible landscape planning and design decisions in support of people and the environment, while contributing to the Department’s collegial, collaborative culture of community-engaged learning.
Review of applications will begin February 1, 2027 and will continue until the position is filled. The anticipated start date will be August 1, 2027. The position is located on USU’s main campus in Logan, Utah and is not eligible for remote work. For additional information, contact Benjamin.george@usu.edu, Search Committee Chairperson.

Visa sponsorship may be available depending on individual circumstances and applicable immigration requirements. The University supports standard sponsorship costs but cannot cover the additional $100,000 H-1B fee if applicable. Sponsorship eligibility will be determined by University Human Resources prior to an official offer of employment.
Responsibilities:
Candidates should possess an excellent understanding of landscape architectural design, planning, and land development, and will be expected to develop Extension programs to support constituents in these areas across the state and beyond. Constituents may include, but are not limited to, county Extension faculty, communities and citizens, and design and planning professionals. The individual hired will provide leadership across the state through collaborations with these constituents and will liaise with USU researchers, faculty, and students.
The successful candidate will also provide continuing education and professional development opportunities that help practitioners advance their careers, licensure, and certification, and will cultivate partnerships with professional organizations such as Utah ASLA and APA. The candidate will be required to develop a program translating research into impacts, and will be expected to assess the impacts of Extension programs and service-learning projects on communities and the broader profession. Their Extension activities should be aimed at developing practical solutions for strengthening the impact of planning and design in various landscapes, and building organizational capacity in the service of Utah’s communities.
In addition to advancing the profession(s), the candidate will support LAEP’s community-engaged learning efforts by connecting students and studios with communities through service-learning opportunities.
The successful candidate should also demonstrate ability or potential to teach core studio/lecture courses that can either cover core competencies or innovations in design and/or planning, including advising students within the department’s graduate program (i.e., MLA, MsEP, PhD).

Community-engaged learning is central to our studios, and our Extension Landscape Architecture program extends that commitment to Utah’s communities and professionals. LAEP’s Extension Landscape Architecture program is a core legacy of our department and commitment, with a 50 year history which began with the Environmental Field Service program. Faculty and students work in diverse settings, from urban neighborhoods and gateway communities to the wildland-urban interface, and benefit from close connections to practitioners through the Canyon House Residency, the LAEP Speaker Series, sponsored studios, and partnerships with Utah ASLA, APA, and other professional organizations. The successful candidate will join colleagues who value teaching, community partnership, and a strong culture of belonging, and will have a defining role in how LAEP’s work reaches communities and practitioners across Utah and beyond.

Tips for Your Architecture Specialist Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to the sector
Commercial and government hiring managers want to see project delivery and code compliance examples, while residential firms focus on client-facing design work. Organize your portfolio by project type so reviewers find the most relevant work without digging.
List your licensure status precisely
Specify whether you hold a full architectural license, ARE credentials, or are in NCARB's IDP process. Many postings filter candidates on licensure stage, and vague descriptions cause recruiters to pass on otherwise strong applicants.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists architecture specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Name the software you use by version
Revit, AutoCAD, and Rhino proficiency are table stakes, but listing the version and whether you've used BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud signals readiness to work in current collaborative environments without a ramp-up period.
Research the firm's project pipeline before interviews
Architecture specialist roles often require long-term project commitment. Walk into interviews knowing whether the firm is focused on ground-up construction, renovation, or master planning, and frame your experience around whichever type dominates their recent work.
Negotiate start dates around project handoffs
Firms hiring architecture specialists typically have active project timelines that your start date affects. Proposing a start date tied to a logical handoff point, rather than a flat two-week notice, signals professional awareness and reduces onboarding friction.
Architecture Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most architecture specialists?
The most active employers for architecture specialists right now are LTM Limited, Corgan, and Larson Design, and the most openings are in Pennsylvania, New York, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially strong at firms with active municipal and institutional project pipelines.
How many architecture specialist jobs are remote?
About 36% of architecture specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on coordination most roles require. Sub-specializations in specifications writing, project management, and sustainability consulting tend to offer the most remote flexibility compared to roles centered on construction administration or on-site review.
How do you become an architecture specialist?
Start with an accredited professional degree in architecture, then complete the internship hours required for licensure through NCARB's experience pathway. Pass all sections of the Architect Registration Examination to earn your license. From there, focus on a specialization, whether sustainability, historic preservation, or healthcare design, by seeking projects in that sector and pursuing relevant continuing education credentials.
How do you get hired as an architecture specialist with little experience?
Focus your portfolio on academic work, internship projects, and any volunteer or pro bono design contributions that show real project delivery skills. Target smaller firms or government agencies with structured mentorship programs, where junior staff get direct exposure to construction documents and client coordination earlier than at large practices. Earning an LEED Green Associate credential also signals commitment beyond the degree.
What does the architecture specialist interview process look like?
Most firms begin with a phone screen focused on your project experience and software fluency, followed by a portfolio review meeting where you walk through two or three projects in depth. A second round typically involves a design exercise or technical problem relevant to the firm's work type. Final-stage conversations shift toward project management approach, code knowledge, and how you coordinate across disciplines on complex jobs.
Where can I find and apply to architecture specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to architecture specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and career goals.
