If you're the type of leader who enjoys solving problems, building relationships, leading crews, and seeing a project come to life from start to finish, we want to meet you.
Schultz Lawnscapes is seeking an experienced Commercial Landscape Project Manager to oversee commercial landscape installation projects throughout Virginia. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys being in the field, working alongside crews, communicating with General Contractors and customers, and ensuring projects are completed safely, on schedule, and with exceptional quality.
This is not a desk job.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy leading from the front, and take pride in delivering outstanding results, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Why Join Schultz Lawnscapes?
At Schultz Lawnscapes, we believe exceptional landscapes begin with exceptional people.
We're committed to building a culture where employees are respected, supported, challenged, and given opportunities to grow. We invest in leadership, safety, professional development, and the resources our teams need to be successful.
We're not just looking for someone to manage projects.
We're looking for someone who wants to help build one of the region's premier commercial landscape companies.
What You'll Do
As a Commercial Landscape Project Manager, you will:
- Manage multiple commercial landscape installation projects simultaneously.
- Lead multiple field crews while maintaining project schedules, budgets, quality, and safety.

- Maintain project documentation from kickoff through closeout.
- Partner with the Director of Operations and Construction Estimator to ensure successful project execution.
What to Expect
