• Solid plant identification skills and understanding of New England plant material and care
• Experience with irrigation installation/service and snow operations estimating is a plus
• Proven ability to manage and train crews or field staff
• Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• CAD or similar design software experience required
• Valid driver’s license required
• DOT Health Card required or ability to obtain
