What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maintenance Crew Leader position at Elevate Lawn Co.?
Maintenance Crew Leader (Bilingual Preferred)
About Us
Redefining the residential landscape doesn’t happen without exceptional people.
At Elevate, we specialize in high-end, detail-driven landscape maintenance for estate-level properties. Our focus is not volume—it’s precision, consistency, and delivering a level of care that reflects the value of each property we manage.
We are committed to creating an environment where our team thrives—because the quality of our work is a direct reflection of the people behind it.
The Role
This role is active, hands-on, and leadership-driven.
As a Maintenance Crew Leader, you will be responsible for leading a small crew in the field and ensuring each property is maintained to our standards. You will set the pace for the day, communicate expectations clearly, and take ownership of the final result at each site.
This is not a passive role—you are expected to lead from the front. This role is best suited for someone who values high standards, consistency and long-term growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage a small maintenance crew (2–4 team members)
- Set daily expectations and ensure work is completed efficiently and correctly
- Maintain a high level of detail across all properties
- Perform hands-on work alongside your team (pruning, edging, bed care, etc.)
- Communicate with the Production Manager on progress, issues, and needs
- Identify and address quality issues before leaving each property
- Train and develop crew members on proper techniques and expectations
- Ensure safe and professional operation of all equipment
Qualifications
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (required)
- Bilingual (English/Spanish preferred)
- Previous landscape maintenance experience (leadership experience strongly preferred)
- Strong work ethic and ability to lead by example
- High attention to detail—our clients expect clean, consistent results
- Ability to work efficiently while maintaining quality
- Reliable, organized, and accountable
What We’re Looking For
This is not a “clock in and get through the day” position.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Takes pride in the finished product—not just completing tasks
- Holds their crew to a high standard without cutting corners
- Communicates clearly and respectfully
- Works with urgency but never sacrifices quality
- Wants to grow into a larger leadership role over time
Schedule
- Full-time, Monday–Friday
- 8–10 hour days (40–50 hours/week)
- Occasional Saturdays during peak seasons (spring & fall)
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay based on experience
- Opportunity for performance-based bonuses
- Five paid holidays during the season
- Company-wide holiday between Christmas & New Year
- PTO during the season (March–November)
- Flexible time off during winter months
Growth Opportunity
This role is a stepping stone to higher leadership within Elevate.
Strong Crew Leaders will have the opportunity to grow into Production Manager-level responsibilities as the company continues to expand.
