About The Position

We are looking for a leader who takes ownership of their route, develops their crew, notices problems before they become client concerns, and takes pride in craftsmanship.

• Ability to identify and communicate landscape issues proactively
• Professional appearance and demeanor appropriate for luxury residential properties
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable using smartphones and mobile apps for documentation and reporting
• Experience safely operating landscape trucks, trailers, and commercial landscape equipment preferred
• Valid driver's license with an insurable driving record
• Ability to lift 50 pounds and perform physical landscape work outdoors in Arizona conditions

Nice To Haves

• Communicate property conditions, client concerns, and recommended improvements to management
• Train, coach, and mentor crew members on proper horticultural practices, pruning techniques, equipment use, safety procedures, and company standards
• Maintain accountability for crew productivity, quality, professionalism, and jobsite cleanliness
• Record labor hours, job notes, photos, and property updates using company software
• Take before-and-after photos and accurately document completed work
• Safely operate company trucks, trailers, tools, and commercial landscape equipment
