Landscape Crew Lead

Overview

If you're the person everyone already relies on at work, we should talk.

Lionscape is looking for an experienced Landscape Crew Lead who can take ownership of a jobsite, lead a small team and deliver work they're proud to put their name on.

This is not just a "most experienced guy on the crew" position.

We're looking for someone who can be trusted with a crew, equipment, schedule and client property — and who takes responsibility for getting the job done correctly and efficiently.

Responsibilities

As a Crew Lead, you'll:

• Lead and work alongside a landscape crew
• Review job details and understand the plan before work begins
• Organize the crew and assign responsibilities
• Keep projects moving efficiently throughout the day
• Maintain Lionscape quality standards
• Train and coach less-experienced crew members
• Safely operate trucks, trailers and landscape equipment
• Properly load, secure and care for equipment and materials
• Communicate job progress, material needs and potential problems
• Identify issues BEFORE they become bigger problems
• Maintain a clean and professional jobsite
• Communicate professionally with clients when needed
• Complete jobs correctly and efficiently
• Take ownership of the final result

Our work includes landscape installations, plantings, mulch and decorative stone, property cleanups, trimming, sod installations, landscape lighting and seasonal Christmas light installation.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Has professional landscaping experience, preferable with landscape installations, planting, mulching and property enhancements
• Has experience leading people OR clearly demonstrates leadership ability
• Can work independently without needing constant direction
• Understands how to keep a crew productive without sacrificing quality
• Notices details
• Can solve problems in the field
• Communicates clearly with both management and crew members
• Holds themselves and others accountable
• Takes care of company trucks, equipment and client property
• Is dependable and consistently shows up ready to lead

A valid driver's license and acceptable driving record are required. You must also be able to meet company/DOT requirements for driving company vehicles.

What Does a Successful Crew Lead Look Like at Lionscape?

You know where your crew needs to be and what needs to happen next.

You don't wait until the end of the day to mention a problem that could have been solved at 10:00 AM.

You don't leave quality control for someone else.

You teach newer team members instead of complaining that they don't know something.

And when your crew pulls away from a property, you're proud of what you left behind.

If you're looking for a company where strong performance, leadership and ownership are noticed, we'd like to meet you.

Apply today and tell us about the crews and types of projects you've led.
