Lawn Care and Growth Specialist

Joshua Tree Experts • Magna, UT

2d • $20 - $25 • Onsite

About The Position

Joshua Tree Experts is expanding its lawn care services in the Salt Lake City area and seeks an experienced, customer-oriented team member to help build the business. This is more than a seasonal lawn technician role: the position combines lawn care applications with customer relationship-building, lead generation, and business growth. During the lawn care season, the specialist performs fertilizer and weed-control applications and helps generate new business. During off-season and slower periods, work focuses substantially on customer acquisition, neighborhood canvassing, lead generation, training, equipment preparation, and preparing for the upcoming season.

The position is intended to provide full-time, year-round work and long-term growth. As the division expands, the specialist may have opportunities to train employees, manage routes, oversee technicians, and help lead the lawn care and pest control operation. Performance incentives and opportunities for additional compensation are available for helping grow the business. Compensation is hourly and based on experience.

The role requires outdoor physical work in varying weather conditions, direct communication with homeowners, and independent management of a daily service route. The company provides training, professional development, modern equipment, and professional products.

• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
• Ability to perform physical outdoor work in varying weather conditions.

• Self-motivated, reliable, accountable, positive, professional, and able to work well with others.
• Willingness to learn, take on additional responsibility, recognize problems, and find solutions.

• Experienced in lawn care, fertilization, weed control, landscaping, pest control, or a related field.
