Project Coordination:

1. Landscape Scope Management:

• Oversee the execution of the landscape design, ensuring that all aspects (softscapes, hardscapes, irrigation, etc.) are included in the scope and are delivered as per the project requirements.
• Work closely with landscape architects, design teams, and construction teams to ensure seamless integration of the landscape elements into the overall project.

1. Scheduling and Budgeting:

• Develop, manage, and update the landscape package schedule, ensuring that all milestones are met on time.
• Monitor and control the landscape budget, ensuring that costs stay within the prescribed limits and adjusting resources as necessary to avoid overruns.

1. Procurement Management:

• Coordinate procurement of all materials, including plants, hardscape materials (pavers, stones, concrete), and irrigation components.
• Evaluate and select suppliers and subcontractors for various landscape components and negotiate contracts for competitive pricing and quality assurance.

Team and Contractor Management:

1. Subcontractor Oversight:

• Hire and manage landscape subcontractors and suppliers, ensuring they adhere to project timelines, quality standards, and safety protocols.
• Facilitate communication between subcontractors and project teams to ensure smooth workflow and resolve any issues quickly.

1. On-Site Supervision:

• Supervise the installation of landscape elements, ensuring quality standards, design accuracy, and adherence to project specifications.
• Conduct regular site inspections to monitor progress, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and check for issues that may need resolution.
• Provide hands-on support during critical phases of the landscape installation (e.g., planting, hardscape construction).

Design and Technical Support:

1. Design Integration:

• Collaborate with landscape architects and designers to interpret and integrate landscape designs into the project. Ensure the landscape vision is properly executed.
• Review plans for constructability, offering recommendations for improvements where necessary to enhance project outcomes.

1. Technical Expertise:

• Ensure that all landscape installations are performed according to best practices for drainage, soil quality, irrigation, and plant health.
• Advise the team on technical aspects of landscape installation, such as grading, irrigation systems, and sustainable practices.

Quality Control and Compliance:

1. Quality Assurance:

• Ensure all landscape elements meet high-quality standards and match the approved design specifications.
• Monitor the completion of works in phases, identifying and addressing defects or inconsistencies as they arise.

1. Regulatory Compliance:

• Ensure all landscaping work complies with local environmental, zoning, and construction codes.
• Implement sustainable and water-efficient practices, such as using native plants, efficient irrigation systems, and eco-friendly materials where applicable.

1. Safety Oversight:

• Enforce safety standards on site, ensuring that all landscaping work is carried out in compliance with health and safety regulations.

Client and Stakeholder Communication:

1. Client Liaison:

• Serve as the primary point of contact between the project team and the client for all landscape-related matters.
• Provide regular updates to the client on progress, address concerns, and ensure any design changes are communicated clearly and executed accordingly.

1. Stakeholder Reporting:

• Prepare and deliver progress reports for clients, senior managers, and stakeholders, highlighting key achievements, risks, or delays in the landscape portion of the project.
• Coordinate with other departments, such as construction, civil engineering, and environmental teams, to ensure the landscape package aligns with other project activities.
