• Manage and maintain landscape equipment and tools
• Report to Landscape Foreman or Landscape Division Manager

Qualifications

• Basic landscape install and maintenance experience
• Ability to work in a team setting or as an individual
• Good communication skills
• Knowledge of required equipment and tools and basic maintenance
• Valid driver’s license & ability to drive a company pick-up truck with trailer if required
• High School Diploma

In return, we offer competitive compensation, along with comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision benefits, life insurance, a 401(k) with company match, and a corporate team environment with opportunities for advancement. Also includes on-site company fitness gym, discounts on housing, and home appliances.
