Production Manager

• Greater Seattle, WA
• Green Garden Landscaping

Green Garden Landscaping is a growing, established residential and commercial landscaping and construction company serving the greater Seattle area across maintenance, irrigation, enhancements, and design-build. We're looking for an experienced field leader who can turn an approved scope into safe, high-quality, profitable work while developing crews that can perform with confidence and consistency.

What You'll Do

• Plan, schedule, and supervise daily operations across enhancement, installation/construction, and irrigation projects, including crew assignments, equipment, and materials.
• Review scopes, plans, and takeoffs before mobilization so crews understand the work order, materials list, and site-specific requirements.
• Direct field crews and crew leads daily with clear priorities, on-site quality control, and hands-on problem solving.
• Conduct regular site visits and quality inspections across maintenance and installation work; correct deficiencies before client walkthroughs.
• Manage equipment and vehicle fleet readiness, including maintenance, repairs, and proper use across crews.
• Review and approve crew timesheets, material usage, and job costing data for accurate reporting to operations and accounting.
• Track job progress against budgeted hours and timelines; assess labor efficiency and material purchases to keep jobs on budget.
• Flag scope changes, delays, or cost overruns to management promptly.
• Serve as the primary field point of contact for clients during active installation projects, communicating progress and resolving on-site concerns.
• Coordinate with account management, design, sales, and leadership on site issues, project handoffs, and consistent service delivery on existing accounts.
• Use company software (LMN, Bizzen, HubSpot) to keep job records, schedules, and notes current so handoffs between production and operations are clean and nothing is passed along verbally.
• Recruit, train, and mentor crew leads and field staff; build a culture of accountability, safety, and craftsmanship.
• Conduct field performance reviews, identify growth paths for crew leads and field staff, and build improvement plans where performance falls short.
• Flexibility during peak season (spring through fall) for extended hours.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on landscape construction, enhancement, or related outdoor construction experience
• Minimum 2 years of experience leading crews, projects, or field production
• Strong knowledge of planting, grading, drainage, hardscape, fencing, irrigation coordination, site preparation, and landscape construction practices
• Ability to read plans and scopes, sequence work, order materials, allocate labor, and manage multiple active projects
• Working understanding of job costing, labor budgets, material control, change conditions, and production documentation
• Strong quality-control judgment and the ability to identify problems before they become rework or client issues
• Ability to train and hold crews accountable while maintaining respectful, realistic, and safe working conditions
• Ability to use mobile job-management, timekeeping, photo, and communication systems consistently
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record and experience safely operating company trucks and trailers
• Ability to perform physically demanding outdoor work and inspect active jobsites in varying weather conditions
