At Senske Services, we make the neighbors green with envy for our beautiful lawns! Come join a winning team where the grass is always greener on our side because of our Application Tech’s hard work and dedication to transforming customers’ outdoor spaces.
Our Application Technicians provide service to residential or commercial client properties in a timely, safe manner, using hand and powered equipment to apply products to treat our customers' lawns.

Adjust the aerator settings (e.g., depth or spacing) based on the soil type, grass type, and the specific needs of the lawn.
Experience is great, but we also train people to do what we love. We will teach you everything you need to know to succeed! You will receive guidance and plenty of support from our talented, super-smart colleagues and leadership team.
During your training period, which can last 1 day to 4 weeks, you will be an hourly, non-exempt employee. The wage range is $20-$23 per hour for training.
