Here at Mesa Turf Masters we take pride in our work, how we interact, and how we communicate with our customers. We value integrity and honesty in all of our relationships. We believe in investing in our team as we look at our team as family. We believe growth creates opportunity for our team and for the success of the company.

Our team enjoys working together in a fun, respectful, and energetic way in a hardworking atmosphere where productivity is rewarded, and we are looking to expand!

The core values that we live by and treat everyone we interact with are:

Dependable and Accountable: Being an excelling company, we require personal accountability in every effort while being dependable. It is critical to our success. This ensures we can operate with higher standards to provide professional and punctual services to our customers. A dependable person builds trust by holding themselves accountable to their team and their customers.

No jerks allowed: Our culture demands individuals with positive and outgoing personalities. A willingness to build relationships with valued clients and coworkers is foundational to who we are. Work makes up a significant portion of our day and spending them with a jerk is not acceptable to the team or to our clients.

Honesty and integrity: Striving to do the right thing in an open and honest fashion with every action we have with our team, clients, and vendors. Being truthful in our interactions and a willingness to accept responsibility for your actions. Always do the right thing, treating others like you would like to be treated.

Always be getting better: We have an improving culture and look for those traits in who we employ. A desire to get better in both our personal and professional lives will lead us to innovations and an ability to serve our customers better. We live in a continuously changing environment with the need to adapt and improvise to meet the demands of the marketplace. Getting better is personally rewarding and leads to a sense of accomplishment that is measurable and inspires others to follow.

Growth creates opportunity: Growth is planned for and executed by design and is the most significant driving force at Mesa Turf Masters. Growth creates opportunity for staff advancement in pay, responsibility, and the success of the company. Nobody wants to work for, hire, or recommend a company in decline. If we are not growing, we are dying!

A Strong team = A Happy Family: Mesa Turf Masters believes in the family unit and looks at its team members as family. We will take care of each other in good and bad times whether they be in our personal lives or the work challenges that occur. Staying together, supporting one another and working towards a common goal is the only acceptable course of action. Helping those who need help, comfort those who need comfort, and praise those who earn it drives connection between those you work with!

If you share our core values and think Mesa Turf Masters would be a good fit, here is more about the position:

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Perform landscape Irrigation services such as start ups, repairs, and winterizations
  • Diagnose common irrigation problems and make necessary repairs.
  • Install pumps, smart boxes and related electrical needs of our clients.
  • Communicate with clients to help them better manage their landscapes
  • Complete paperwork on a daily basis, and perform daily billing
  • Operate independently and as a member of a team when needed
  • Maintain assigned equipment and company vehicle
  • Our technicians are held to a high standard, we track results and performance to ensure the customers are receiving the quality service they expect!
  • Landscapes are an investment and part of people’s close home lives. With this in mind, technicians must approach all of these interactions with honesty and integrity.

As an associate of Mesa Turf Masters you will enjoy:

- Competitive market wages starting at $18.00 to $22.00 an hour

- Ability to work independently while supported as part of a team

- Company, industry, and on-going training

-Company provided uniforms, PPE, and equipment

- ability to earn commissions and advancement

- Paid holidays

- Weekends off

- Simple IRA with company match

These benefits and opportunities are available to everyone; however, they will be earned because:

-Hard work in hot weather: We live in an arid climate, and this is a physically demanding job. It can get HARD. Much of the job can be described as a marathon more than a sprint, but if you have not been exposed to hot and strenuous conditions and feel that you are not capable of doing so, this is not a position where you could thrive.

-Demanding Schedule: Lawn care and landscaping is a seasonal job. Our primary work season is from typically from mid-February to mid to late November, weather permitting. Our employees are supported with job attached unemployment through the off season, while some earn winter hours. This time frame limits our ability to accommodate extensive vacation time as each of our team members serves a pivotal role throughout the season.

-Customer service: Our customers are demanding, and so are we! Landscapes are an investment that require a lot of effort from everyone involved. We ask that our members set themselves apart from the average by providing a higher level of dedicated service and being prepared to have some difficult conversations.

-We pride ourselves in the quality of our work but we understand that we are only human and mistakes can happen! You must be willing to be held accountable to our standards and have the tough conversations when necessary!

Each day is different and presents its own unique set of challenges but overcoming these provides the satisfaction of a job well done and fair compensation for it!

All of this requires attention to detail and just so that we know you are paying attention, in order to be considered for this position you must answer “Green Grass” in the code word question in the next step of the process.

This is an integral role in our company, for without our incredible lawn care technicians, we would have no way to serve our fantastic customer who love how we serve them! So, if you take pride in your work, love working with people and enjoy making landscapes beautiful, this is an opportunity to join a great motivated team and a growing company.
