Peak Landscape • Portland, OR

8d

About The Position

Peak Landscape, Inc. is a commercial landscape company serving the Oregon and Washington markets. We operate across seven service divisions — Maintenance, Enhancement, Tree Care, Irrigation, Plant Health Care, Snow & Ice, and Construction — and we're growing fast. If you're driven, detail-oriented, and take pride in delivering on your commitments, you'll thrive here. We're looking for an experienced Landscape Project Manager/Estimator who can own a project from proposal to punch list. This is a dual-role position: you'll be out estimating new work and managing the execution of projects you win. You need to be equally comfortable reading a set of plans and talking to a property manager.

• Demonstrated ability to produce accurate, competitive bids on landscape enhancement and/or construction projects

• Proficiency with estimating software and/or CRM tools (Aspire experience a plus)
• Valid driver's license with clean driving record

Nice To Haves

• Irrigation and/or tree care estimating experience
• Familiarity with the Portland or Seattle commercial real estate market
• OLCA, NALP, or other industry association involvement

Responsibilities

• Estimate landscape enhancement, construction, and improvement projects ranging from $5K to $500K+
• Develop detailed proposals including scope, materials, labor, subcontractor costs, and project timelines
• Manage awarded projects from kickoff through completion, including scheduling, crew coordination, and subcontractor oversight
• Serve as the primary client contact during project execution — communicating clearly, proactively, and professionally
• Conduct site walks and property assessments to identify scope and uncover opportunities
• Coordinate with division leads, Account Managers, and field crews to ensure smooth project handoffs
• Track project budgets, hours, and material costs against estimates; identify and communicate variances early
• Assist with bid strategy and go/no-go decisions on larger opportunities
• Maintain accurate project records in Aspire (our operations platform)

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + performance incentives tied to project margin
• Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision)
• Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
• Tools and technology to do your job well (Aspire, mobile access, estimating resources)
• A leadership team that's growing intentionally and investing in the right people
• Clear path for advancement as we scale
