About The Position

Naturescape of Schaumburg, IL is seeking to hire a Lawn Care Specialist to provide our customers with outstanding services for their residential and commercial properties. This role offers a career in lawn and landscape care with a stable, family-owned business, where you can be a valued and respected member of a close-knit team. The position involves independent work in the great outdoors, with flexible scheduling options for full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. Your primary responsibility is to be the face of the company in the field, managing a route and transforming landscapes. You will typically work 10-hour days, 4 days per week, with your 'office' changing daily. Tasks include precision lawn care, lawn aeration, mowing, tree/shrub care and pruning, and mosquito control. You will also act as a consultant and problem-solver, assessing lawn health and landscape needs, and communicating effectively with clients. Adaptability is key, as you will pivot to snow removal in the winter to ensure customer safety and mobility. This is a licensed specialist position requiring state pesticide certifications. The company emphasizes continuous learning and development, encouraging a 'learning by doing' approach. Previous experience in roles like general laborer, construction worker, landscaper, or groundskeeper is beneficial, but a 'can-do' attitude and willingness to be coached are most important.
