Landscape Architect - OWN, Inc.

In 2023, we changed our name from Anderson Engineering, Inc. to OWN, Inc. to be more reflective of our team and the mindset that makes us go. While the name may be new, the links to the past have led us to what we are today: a community of talented employee-owners driven by mutual success.

OWN, Inc. is an engineering firm that believes in the power of employee-ownership. Our talented team builds futures while helping shape the built environment across the country from our offices in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Florida. We serve the Private Development and Public Infrastructure markets with core offerings of Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Land Surveying, and Field Services. No matter the project or scope, our clients enjoy problem-solving and service that goes beyond the expected.

• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and construction teams to integrate landscape designs with overall project plans.
• Select appropriate plant materials, hardscape features, and other design elements based on climate, site conditions, and maintenance considerations.
• Oversee project construction to ensure that designs are executed accurately and effectively.
• Conduct site visits and inspections to ensure the health of landscapes post-construction and offer maintenance recommendations.
• Maintain knowledge of current trends, environmental regulations, and sustainable practices in landscape architecture.

When you join us, you can find your OWN way through:

1. Community.  Giving of time, treasures, and talents to fulfill personal passions and show up in your community.

2. Empowerment. Our employees are given full reign and the trust to make decisions in the best interest of their clients and teams.

3. Flexibility. The freedom to be a professional. The freedom to be a person.

4. ESOP. Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is owned 100% by employees – equitably, a fact most employee-owned firms can’t claim.

5. Having fun. Laughing, jokes, high fives, celebrations – we take our work seriously but not ourselves.

6. Teamwork. A sense of belonging, learning from those around you, and feeling like you’re on the winning team.
