Project Manager, Landscape Construction

Sunrise Landscape•Tampa, FL

5d•Onsite

About The Position

For more than 40 years, Sunrise Landscape has built a reputation for excellence in commercial landscape design, installation, and maintenance. As a recognized Lawn & Landscape Top 100 company, we are growing rapidly and investing in top talent to help us scale. We are seeking a high-performing Project Manager with proven experience in landscape installation to lead complex, fast-paced projects from pre-construction through completion. This is not a general construction role—we are looking for someone who understands the unique operational, material, and execution demands of landscape projects. This is a hands-on, field-connected role focused on landscape construction and installation projects, not an IT, software, or technical project management position. Candidates must have prior experience managing landscape construction projects. This is a business-critical role where you will own project profitability and performance from start to finish, act as the face of Sunrise to clients (home builders, general contractors), partner directly with field leadership to drive execution, and influence outcomes and quality, not just manage tasks. If you thrive in an environment where accountability, speed, and results matter, this role is for you.
