Job description

A BIT ABOUT YOU

You understand irrigation. You’ve always found it interesting, and it always comes easily to you. More operationally than socially focused, you easily identify problems and enjoy solving them in your area of expertise. You are motivated by a genuine concern for getting work done thoroughly, efficiently, and correctly. You want to feel your impact at a growing company. You’re a natural problem solver, and you thrive in a quickly changing environment. Confident, independent, and motivated to make improvements, you work to build and follow processes that deliver high-quality results. Committed to helping others succeed, you support others through your work.

A BIT ABOUT US

We like plants, people, and beautiful spaces. John Mulhall came to Omaha in 1953 to landscape, and now, three generations later, we’re as committed as we’ve ever been to making Omaha a more beautiful place to live. Today, we’re a team of a few hundred people, but our focus remains the same: working together to engage our community and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world. And we have fun doing it.

• Own the irrigation process by managing schedules, coordinating repairs, and responding quickly to client and team needs.
• Maintain accurate records in Aspire by reviewing time entries, material allocations, and job costs daily—no work ticket left behind.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 3-5 years of irrigation experience
• 3+ years of customer service experience, preferred
