Field Manager — New Construction Landscape Installation

Company: Established, growing residential landscape contractor

Location:  Triangle area, NC (Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill and surrounding communities)

Type:  Full-time, year-round

Compensation:  $70,000–$85,000 base (DOE) + company truck, fuel card, and phone + performance bonus

About the Role

A well-established and growing landscape company serving national and regional homebuilders across the Triangle is hiring a Field Manager to own the install side of the business day to day. You’ll run multiple crews across multiple subdivisions and hit builder schedules without sacrificing quality.

This is a production role, not a maintenance role. If you’ve managed landscape installs against builder closing calendars and know what it takes to pass a clean walkthrough, this is built for you. Inquiries are handled in strict confidence.

What You’ll Do

•      Run multiple install crews across active subdivisions, scheduling work to hit builder grading-to-closing windows

•      Read and interpret site plans, plot plans, and landscape plans, and confirm installs match builder specs and HOA/municipal requirements

•      Manage daily crew assignments, productivity, materials, and equipment to keep jobs on schedule and on budget

•      Own quality control: walk jobs before builder walkthroughs, catch and clear punch-list items, and represent the company professionally with builder superintendents and PMs

•      Coordinate sod, plant material, irrigation, and grading work, and troubleshoot site issues (drainage, delivery slips, weather) in real time

•      Track job progress and communicate status clearly to ownership

What We’re Looking For

Required

•      3+ years managing landscape installation crews, ideally on new-construction / production homebuilding

•      Proven ability to run multiple crews and multiple jobs at once against hard deadlines

•      Ability to read landscape and site plans

•      Bilingual (English/Spanish) for crew communication

•      Working knowledge of NC plant material and sod (fescue, bermuda, zoysia, centipede), irrigation basics, and grading

•      Valid NC driver’s license, insurable, clean enough record to operate a company vehicle

Strongly preferred

•      Existing relationships with Triangle-area homebuilder field staff (superintendents, PMs)

•      Familiarity with local requirements: erosion/sediment control, tree protection ordinances, inspection expectations

•      NC pesticide and/or irrigation license

Compensation & Benefits

•      $70,000–$85,000 base depending on experience

•      Company truck, fuel card, and phone

•      Performance bonus tied to on-time, clean install completions

How to Apply

To apply in confidence, send a resume and a short note about the new-construction install work you’ve managed. Please include the largest number of crews and concurrent communities you’ve run at once.
