Landscapers, gardeners, exterior turnover techs
About The Position
Del Mar Vacations is a Veteran-owned, full-service vacation rental company managing 400+ homes across Cape Cod. Our mission is to create lifelong memories through 5-star guest and homeowner experiences, powered by a team that moves fast, solves problems, and cares a lot. We’re hiring Landscapers/Gardeners/Exterior Ops teammates who can keep our homes looking dialed-in and guest-ready—consistently. This is not “mow and go.” This is curb appeal with standards: clean edges, healthy plantings, tidy beds, crisp walkways, and proactive eyes on issues before they become complaints. You’ll work across multiple homes, sometimes independently, sometimes alongside our Exterior Ops team. The goal is simple: every property should look like we care. Because we do.

- Have experience in landscaping, gardening, or property exterior maintenance (multi-site work is a plus)
- Know how to do the basics well: edging, weeding, pruning, mulching, planting, watering, seasonal cleanups
- Can work independently, manage time, and move efficiently across multiple homes
- Communicate clearly and professionally (no mystery updates, no disappearing acts)
- Care about details and take pride in clean, finished work
- Are physically able to work outdoors in heat, humidity, and the occasional Cape Cod mood swing

- Execute work to scope with strong time management and quality control

- Communicate clearly with the team so we can fix problems fast and avoid repeat issues
- Interact with homeowners professionally and effectively when needed to confirm scope and ensure satisfaction
- Represent Del Mar with calm, respectful communication (even when someone is emotionally attached to their ornamental grass)
- Safely operate typical landscaping tools (mowers, trimmers, blowers, hand tools, etc.)
