Job Description
Job description
Lawn Ranger is a growing company specializing in commercial lawn care and landscaping
dating back to the 1980’s. We are currently seeking a dedicated Operations Manager to join our
team. This role is for someone who doesn’t just manage people day-to-day—but builds the
training, standards, and accountability that allow teams to grow and perform at a high level. This
is not a hands-off office role, and it’s not just a senior gardener position. It’s a leadership role
that requires judgment, consistency, and the ability to see both the big picture and the details
that make or break a workday. You’ll spend time planning, coaching, reviewing performance,
and occasionally stepping into the field when leadership is needed most.
