818 studio ltd. is currently searching for the right person to join our small design and planning firm. We have an opportunity for a team player who loves what they do and has the skills needed to succeed. Naturally, a background in landscape architecture or planning is required.

If you are looking for the opportunity to participate in a creative, collaborative environment, on a diverse range of projects, we would be most interested in chatting with you. If your focus is a 9-5 type of environment (and there’s nothing wrong with that), we probably aren’t the right fit for you.

We offer the opportunity to explore many facets of the landscape architecture profession for those with the desire. We have an open studio environment with ideas flowing freely. We work pretty hard; passion and purpose are mandatory.

For more information on our firm and examples of the type of work we do, please refer to our website at www.818studio.ca. If you think you might be interested in chatting with us, drop us a line or come by our office. The door is always open, at least until we can fix the latch.
