Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a โfix a messโ role.
You're stepping into a high-performing, stable branch doing $7M in revenue with 95% client retentionโand a clear goal to grow to $10M. Leadership is experienced, systems are in place, and they're investing in adding a true operations leader to scale the business the right way.
If you've been stuck in a role where you're doing everything without support, this is a chance to focus on leading production and building a team the right way.
The Role
You'll report directly to the Branch Manager and take ownership of day-to-day field operations for commercial landscape maintenance and enhancements.
You'll lead 8 crews (3โ4 members each) and be responsible for making sure work is done efficiently, safely, and at a high level of quality.
This is a hands-on leadership roleโyou're in the field, coaching your team, solving problems, and driving results.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead, coach, and develop field crews
- Manage daily scheduling and routing using Aspire
- Ensure quality across all job sites
- Conduct site visits and resolve issues proactively
- Train team members and build crew leaders
- Oversee equipment usage and care
- Support hiring, onboarding, and performance management
- Maintain strong communication between the field and leadership
What Success Looks Like
- Crews are efficient, productive, and accountable
- Properties consistently meet or exceed client expectations
- You develop strong crew leaders and reduce turnover
- Operations scale smoothly as the branch grows
What We're Looking For
- Experience managing landscape maintenance crews
- Strong leadership and communication skills
- Ability to organize, prioritize, and execute
- Comfortable using systems (Aspire experience is a big plus)
- Someone who takes ownership and leads from the front
