Landscape Team Leader - This IS Your Opportunity To Step-Up!

Newington, CT | Galecki Landscaping

Are you an experienced landscape professional who has been carrying the team on your back without the matching title or pay rate? It is time to step up. Galecki Landscaping LLC is seeking a hands-on, driven individual ready to take charge, manage an efficient job site, and elevate the performance of everyone around them.

The Compensation & Perks

• Pay Rate: $22.00 to $25.00 per hour, plus annual performance raises.

• Work Schedule: Monday through Friday, 40+ hours weekly. Your weekends belong to you.
• Winter Operations: Mandatory "on-call" snow removal duties.

What We Need From You

• Leadership Drive: Formal foreman experience isn’t strictly required, but you must take absolute ownership of job quality, safety protocols, and operational efficiency while leading by example.
• Professional Driving Credentials: A valid driver's license and a DOT Medical Card (or the ability to acquire one prior to your start date). You must be completely confident backing up a heavy truck and loaded trailer.
• Industry Experience: A minimum of 18 months of professional landscaping experience. You should be fluent in operating zero-turn mowers, commercial landscape tools, and executing high-tier site work. (Note: Informal weekend or night work for family members does not qualify).
• Administrative Details: Ability to accurately fill out short daily job reports and perform final quality checks before departing any project site.

Our Company Standards

• Reliability: Strict 90-day "no-call, no-show" probation period. If you have an appointment, let us know in advance! Unscheduled missing of a shift during your initial three months will result in immediate termination.
• A Culture of Professionals: We operate as a mature team. We uphold a strictly drug-free environment and enforce post-accident testing policies. Leave the excuses behind and bring your best effort every day.
