Shell Refinery Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Shell Bay, located in Hallandale, FL, is pleased to announce an excellent career opportunity for a Manager of Horticulture & Landscape Presentation! We are seeking a driven individual who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow within a fastpaced hospitality-focused property organization. As part ofTroon, you’ll contribute to a global leader in golf and community management.

Reporting directly to Garrett Boddington, Director of Agronomy & Grounds, this newly created full-time salaried leadership position will work closely alongside our Landscape Manager, Pedro, with one clear objective:

To elevate every aspect of our landscape presentation to an uncompromising world-class standard.

As Shell Bay prepares for the opening of our luxury hotel, private residences, marina, and additional amenities, the importance of our landscape has never been greater. Every arrival, every pathway, every garden, every specimen tree, every waterfront view, and every outdoor space contributes to the experience our members and guests expect.

Originally designed by Nievera Williams Landscape Design, our landscape is one of the defining features of Shell Bay. Your role will be to preserve that vision while continually refining and enhancing the presentation of the property as it matures, ensuring it remains one of the finest examples of luxury landscape design in the country.

Our Philosophy

At Shell Bay, we believe landscape is far more than maintenance.

It is one of the first and last impressions our members and guests experience every day.

Every hedge, flower bed, lawn edge, specimen tree, palm, pathway, and garden contributes to the luxury experience that defines our club.

We are looking for someone who views horticulture as both a science and an art—someone who notices the smallest details, believes excellence is achieved through consistency, and takes personal pride in creating extraordinary outdoor environments.

This is not a position for someone who manages from behind a desk.

We are seeking a hands-on leader who enjoys working alongside the team every day, coaching by example, continually improving standards, and ensuring every inch of the property reflects the quality expected of one of the world’s premier private clubs.
