About The Position

Join the CSL Group Family. At CSL Group Ltd., we're more than a landscaping company. We're a family-owned business built on our SHARING values: Safety, Humility, Accountability, Respect, Integrity, Nurturing, and Growth. For over 40 years, we've partnered with commercial, municipal, institutional, and industrial clients to keep their properties safe, beautiful, and professionally maintained throughout every season.

We're looking for a Landscape Maintenance & Snow Estimator to lead the preparation of competitive tenders for commercial landscape maintenance and snow & ice management contracts.

You'll work closely with our Sales and Operations teams to develop accurate, competitive submissions that win work while ensuring contracts can be delivered efficiently and profitably.
