About The Position

Blades Landscaping is hiring a Field Operations Lead for a hands-on leadership role in Northwest Arkansas. This is not an entry-level landscaping job. We are only hiring someone who already has real, direct landscaping experience and knows how to do the work at a high level. This role is for someone who has already worked in landscaping, understands what great work looks like, and can help lead others to that standard. We are offering $1,000/week base pay plus performance-based bonus opportunities tied to quality, profitability, new properties, and growth. If you are dependable, experienced, hard-working, and ready to grow into a larger leadership role, this could be a strong opportunity. If you do not already know landscaping, this is not the right role. We need someone who can step into the field, understand the work, and help us raise the standard immediately.

Reliable transportation required.
Strong attendance and punctuality.
Comfortable using phone, text, photos, and videos for job updates.
Willingness to take responsibility for equipment, trailers, tools, jobsite quality, and daily communication with management.
No drama, no excuses, no disappearing.

Responsibilities

Perform and lead daily landscaping work, including mowing, trimming, edging, blowing, cleanup, mulching, planting, light installs, seasonal property work, equipment operation, and other landscape maintenance tasks as assigned.
Set the pace and standard for the crew.
Help lead the field team by keeping the crew moving, training team members, correcting poor work quickly, holding people accountable, communicating clearly with management, helping build a strong field culture, and showing others what good work looks like.
Ensure properties are completed correctly before the crew leaves by checking clean mowing lines, sharp edging, proper trimming, blown sidewalks, driveways, entrances, patios, and beds, gates closed, trash or debris removed, equipment and materials cleaned up, customer/property issues documented, and overall professional appearance.
Protect the company’s equipment and tools by keeping trailers organized and ready, making sure equipment is loaded and secured properly, reporting damage or maintenance issues quickly, helping prevent lost tools and broken equipment, supporting daily and weekly equipment checks, and taking ownership when something breaks.
Help make sure specific properties are completed consistently, maintained profitably, properly documented, customer-ready every visit, and supported as part of the company’s growth plan.
Support growth by identifying improvement opportunities on existing properties, helping onboard new properties, communicating customer needs, supporting estimates or site reviews, referring new opportunities, and helping protect customer relationships.
