Strootman Landscape Architects, based in Amsterdam, works on landscape challenges across all scales. Our firm covers the full breadth of the field: from design research, strategy development, and regional planning to the design of forests, bridges, parks, and gardens, and from nature development to infrastructure design. We produce designs at all levels, from preliminary concept to final technical specifications (SO/VO/DO).

As a Technical Designer, you hold a key position in the phase between concept and realization. With your specific knowledge and experience, you will be a sounding board for team members within your projects. You will detail and visualize landscape layouts and specific elements (site plans, cross-sections, and technical details). We expect you to bring your creativity to the visualization and 3D modeling of our designs.

At our firm, you will have plenty of room for professional growth. We won’t throw you into the deep end; we provide internal guidance to help you get started. We value having a great atmosphere in the office. There is no culture of regular overtime, and besides our projects, we enjoy many activities together, such as shared lunches, drinks, and excursions both in the Netherlands and abroad.

Profile:

• Approximately three years of experience.
• Relevant educational background (e.g., Landscape Architecture, Spatial Design, or Technical Design).
• Accurate, curious, and inquisitive.
• Strong communication skills, proactive, and showing initiative.
• Able to work independently and deliver design products (Preliminary/Final/Technical Design) within a team schedule.
• Strong technical insight and drafting skills.
• A keen eye for graphic design; formatting booklets, diagrams, and drawings comes naturally to you.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D) and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Ability to design and model in 3D, preferably with Rhino.
• Hand-sketching skills are a plus.
• Experience with QGIS and BIM is a plus.

What we offer:

• A diverse and challenging portfolio (primarily focused on public space layouts, bridge design, civil engineering structures, and landscape elements).
• A creative working environment with a focus on a healthy work-life balance.
• Office excursions abroad and in the Netherlands, social drinks, and shared lunches on workdays.
• A competitive salary with good secondary benefits, a pension scheme, and travel allowance.
• Ample opportunities to take initiative and further develop your professional skills.
