You will lead a high-volume mowing crew completing 15–30 residential and commercial properties per day.
Schedule:
- Monday–Friday
- Occasional Saturdays required during weather catch-up or heavy workloads
- Peak season is full-time and fast-paced
- Short slow season (approximately 2 months with bi-weekly workload)

- Lift 50 lbs repeatedly
- Work 8–10 hour days in 100° Texas heat
