Experienced Lawn Care Spray Technician
About The Position
Lawn Doctor is looking for an experienced full-time lawn care technician who takes pride in their work. This is not a "spray it and move on" job. You’ll eventually take over our highest-density and most important route, currently run by the owner. We aren't looking for someone to simply maintain it. We want someone who can make it better. We want someone who does things right even when nobody is watching. Someone who notices problems, pays attention to details, takes care of their truck and equipment, communicates when something isn't right, and knows when to ask instead of guessing. You also need to be good with people. Our customers should be happy to see you pull up, and you should genuinely be comfortable talking with them. We're looking for someone who actually gives a damn about the quality of their work. You'll treat residential lawns primarily throughout the Clermont / Oakland area. For your first 2–3 months, you'll work closely with the owner learning the route, customers, our program, products, equipment, turf issues, and standards. The goal isn't just to run my route. It's to eventually run it better than I do. A completed stop isn't enough. We expect you to notice weeds, insects, disease, irrigation problems, declining turf, and anything else that needs attention. Notice it. Think about it. Communicate it. Help us fix it.
