Enhancement Manager – Plan the Work. Lead the Crews. Deliver the Result.
Lawrence Landscape Group | Charlotte, NC
Lawrence Landscape Group is looking for an Enhancement Manager who can take the enhancement work our team sells and turn it into finished, profitable, high-quality installs that make our clients proud of their properties.
We need someone who owns the whole job from the moment it's sold to the moment it's invoiced. Someone who plans ahead, keeps the schedule tight, gets the right materials and the right crew on site, and holds the line on quality and margin. This is an opportunity for an organized, hands‑on leader who likes running a department, takes pride in a job done right the first time, and wants to grow with a company that is building something different in this industry.
What You'll Do
- Own the enhancement department: Take responsibility for the department's monthly revenue and gross margin, and run it like it's your own business.
- Plan the work: Turn sold proposals into clear production plans with the right crew size, materials, hours, and sequence for every job.
- Schedule and dispatch: Build and manage the enhancement schedule, coordinate with Production Managers on crew availability, and keep jobs moving when weather and priorities shift.
- Order materials and manage subs: Source plants, hardscape, and supplies at the right price and on time; schedule and manage subcontractors, including our pine straw and mulch program.
- Partner with the sales team: Work closely with Client Relationship Managers and Designers on job hand-offs, site walks, pricing feedback, and client expectations so every install starts clean and finishes clean.
- Hit the numbers: Track budgeted versus actual hours and material costs on every job, catch problems early, and protect margin.
- Lead and develop crews: Coach enhancement crew leaders on plant installation, hardscape, grading, and finish quality, and build a team that takes pride in the work.
- Uphold high standards: Enforce LLG's expectations for safety, quality, uniforms, equipment, and professionalism on every site, every day.
- Close out the job right: Confirm completion, document the work, and hand the client back to the CRM with nothing left on the punch list.
- Protect the company's reputation: Make sure every install reflects the quality and care that LLG is known for.
What Makes You Successful in This Role
- You're a planner. You think a few weeks ahead and don't let a job start without the materials, crew, and plan in place.
- You know the work. You can walk a job and tell whether the bed lines, grading, plant spacing, and finish are right.
- You're organized and comfortable managing multiple jobs, crews, and vendors at once without dropping details.
- You understand job costing and take ownership of hours, materials, and margin.
- You communicate clearly with crews, salespeople, vendors, and clients, and you keep everyone on the same page.
- You hold crews accountable while earning their respect through consistency and competence.
- You solve problems on site instead of letting them turn into callbacks.
- You take initiative, embrace responsibility, and don't wait for someone else to fix things.
- You take pride in work that looks great and lasts.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in landscape installation, enhancements, or construction, with at least 1 year leading crews or managing jobs.
- Strong working knowledge of plant material, installation practices, hardscape basics, and grading and drainage.
- Experience scheduling crews, ordering materials, and managing subcontractors.
- Ability to read proposals and job costs and manage work to a budget.
- Strong planning, organizational, and communication skills.
- Comfortable with landscape business software (Aspire experience is a plus).
- Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
- Bilingual English/Spanish preferred.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary plus commission on enhancement work you sell and manage.
- Company truck, fuel, phone, and laptop.
- A clear path to grow with a company that promotes from within.
