Fleet Mechanic & Operations Coordinator

Build Reliability. Create Excellence.

At Blue Sparrow Lawn & Landscape, we believe every successful day begins long before our crews arrive on a jobsite.

It starts with equipment that starts every time. Trucks that are clean and organized. Trailers that are fully stocked. Tools that are exactly where they belong. A shop that operates with precision. A facility that reflects the quality we promise our clients.

We're looking for an experienced mechanic who takes pride in creating that level of excellence.

Approximately 80% of your time will be spent performing preventative maintenance and repairing our commercial fleet of mowers, small engines, trucks, and trailers.

The remaining portion of your role is ensuring our shop, equipment yard, and facility operate with the same attention to detail that has made Blue Sparrow one of the Kansas City area's premier landscape companies.

If you're happiest with a wrench in your hand but also believe everything should have a place, every machine should be clean, and every crew should leave prepared for success, we'd love to meet you.

Your Mission

At Blue Sparrow, we believe mechanics don't just repair equipment. They create reliability.

Every productive day our crews have starts with equipment that's serviced, trailers that are stocked, tools that are organized, and systems that work. Your job is to make that happen.

We're not looking for someone who fixes things after they break.

We're looking for someone who prevents them from breaking in the first place.

Success in this role isn't measured by how many repairs you complete. It's measured by how reliably our crews leave each morning with clean, organized, fully functional equipment that's ready to perform.
