About the Role
Crew Leader (Maintenance)
Job Description
Lead the crew that keeps the same gardens healthy, week after week and season after season.
What Makes This Role Unique?
- The same properties, the same crew. Each maintenance property keeps one crew, so you know the garden by November the way you did in March.
- A written care plan for every garden. The plan is reviewed every year, so you work from a plan, not from memory.
- A season that changes the work. Winter is pruning, spring is fertilizer and weed control, summer is keeping up with peak growth, and fall is leaf raking and hauling.
What You'll Do
- Lead the maintenance crew on a regular route of properties
- Run each visit: mow and edge the lawns, weed and tidy the beds, do the seasonal task, then rake and blow
- Prune each plant at the right time of year
- Check the irrigation on regular visits, and handle spring start-up and fall winterization on the properties we maintain
- Tell the account manager when a garden needs something outside the written scope, so it can be quoted before the work starts
