Position Overview
We're looking for an experienced Landscape Project Manager/Estimator who can own a project from proposal to punch list. This is a dual-role position: you'll be out estimating new work and managing the execution of projects you win.

- Develop detailed proposals including scope, materials, labor, subcontractor costs, and project timelines
- Manage awarded projects from kickoff through completion, including scheduling, crew coordination, and subcontractor oversight
- Serve as the primary client contact during project execution — communicating clearly, proactively, and professionally
- Conduct site walks and property assessments to identify scope and uncover opportunities
- Coordinate with division leads, Account Managers, and field crews to ensure smooth project handoffs
- Track project budgets, hours, and material costs against estimates; identify and communicate variances early
- Assist with bid strategy and go/no-go decisions on larger opportunities
- Maintain accurate project records in Aspire (our operations platform)
What We're Looking For
Required:
- 5 years of commercial landscape experience, with at least 2 years in an estimating or project management role
- Demonstrated ability to produce accurate, competitive bids on landscape enhancement and/or construction projects
- Strong customer-facing communication skills — written and verbal
- Ability to read and interpret landscape plans, blueprints, and specifications
- Proficiency with estimating software and/or CRM tools (Aspire experience a plus)
- Valid driver's license with clean driving record
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Preferred:
- Experience in commercial landscape maintenance environments (understanding of ongoing account context)
- Irrigation and/or tree care estimating experience
- Familiarity with the Portland or Seattle commercial real estate market
- OLCA, NALP, or other industry association involvement
What You Can Expect From Us
- Competitive base salary performance incentives tied to project margin
- Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision)
- Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
- Tools and technology to do your job well (Aspire, mobile access, estimating resources)
- A leadership team that's growing intentionally and investing in the right people
- Clear path for advancement as we scale
