This is an experienced foreman role. You should already know turf maintenance and be ready to lead a crew and run a route on day one.
What You'll Own
Lead a lawn maintenance crew of two keeping residential and commercial properties mowed, trimmed, and sharp all season.
Run efficient routes, managing the day's schedule so every property gets done right and on time.
Set the quality standard, delivering clean lines, healthy turf, and the detail work clients notice.
Keep your crew coordinated and productive, running daily equipment and truck prep and looking out for one another.
Handle the equipment, keeping mowers, trimmers, and tools maintained and ready to run.
Build the next generation by training and mentoring newer crew members to the standard.
Keep clients covered all winter: when the snow flies, you and your crew clear commercial and residential properties. Winter snow response is on-call and can include nights, weekends, and holidays during storm events.

- Working knowledge of mowing, trimming, edging, and general turf maintenance.
- Strong scheduling and route-management skills to keep a crew productive across multiple properties a day.

- A Wisconsin pesticide or fertilizer applicator license is a plus, though not required for this role.
- The physical ability to be on your feet all day and to lift, push, and handle equipment and materials of 50 lbs, working outdoors in all seasons.
Why Alt's Operation
- Competitive pay of $22–$30/hr, based on your experience.
- Year-round work: mowing season plus paid winter snow work, so your paychecks don't stop when the temperature drops.
- 401(k) with company match, plus health, dental, life and disability insurance.
- A company vehicle provided to foremen after your first 90 days.
- Uniforms and PPE provided.
-Overtime paid at time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a week.
- Snow pays more here: when you're out removing snow, you earn a higher snow wage on top of your regular pay.
- Real room to grow. We've gone from 2 people to a team of over 100 during the snow season, and we build our leaders from within. There's no ceiling here.
- Well-maintained equipment and the support to keep your crew running efficient, high-quality routes.
- A family-oriented crew where everybody has a voice and hard work gets respected.
Where You'll Shine
Be the foreman crews want to work for and clients ask for by name. Take ownership of your routes and the standard your crew sets on every property. And turn steady, year-round work into a long-term career with a growing team.
