This is clearly a long description and a large portion of it is immaterial to building your landscape architect resume. Your first task is to remove the portions that are not essential.

I split the description into two classifications: skills / experience and qualifications.

I then tidied it up into the MOST IMPORTANT points:

Skills / Experience

5+ years of landscape architectural design and planning experience

Knowledgeable in GIS, AutoCAD, Land FX, Adobe Suite, Sketch Up and Microsoft Office

Review projects for code compliance

Translate development programs into detailed land use and site plans

Prepare illustrative concept images, schematic design plans and construction documents

Create grading plan, layout plan, paving plan, planting plan, lighting plan, drainage plan, construction details and specifications

Integrate innovative sustainable design strategies

Construction administration including review for contractor compliance with construction documents and answer any contractor questions

Qualifications

Licensed / Professional Landscape Architect

Now that is something we can work with.

Interestingly they do not list a college degree as a requirement. I am happy to see that companies are coming around to the fact that real world experience is what counts in today's work environment.

The only real requirement is the license, all of the other points are flexible. I often tell candidates if they meet approximately 75% of the requirements it is worth your time applying.

Make the connection

Now that you have the job description narrowed down to the key components, you can us these points to make the connection between your experience and what they are looking for in this role.

For instance:

Translate development programs into detailed land use and site plans.

Have you translated a development program into a site plan? If so, it is a straightforward method to add to your resume as shown below. If not, you may have to be more creative when writing your resume responsibilities.

For example, you may have reviewed the development program on a project but didn't draw the site plan. In this case you should focus on what you DID produce and combine it with one of the other key skills they are looking for:

Created a client Powerpoint presentation highlighting the innovative sustainable design strategies required in the development program.

Sort by project

I suggest you divide your landscape architect resume by project. Give a short description of each project alongside your key responsibilities:

The City Library

Dallas, TX

1.2 million sq. ft., $250 million public library

Created the landscape site plans based on the development programs provided

Developed the landscape design from concept to construction documents working with a team of architects and consultants

This technique will address the points in the job description and create a resume that can be clearly understood by the hiring manager, showing that you are the right person for the job.
