What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Operations position at Terrascapes?
Great companies aren't built by equipment or buildings—they're built by great people.
At Terrascapes, we're looking for an exceptional leader to become the next Director of Operations and help lead our company into its next chapter of growth.
For more than 20 years, Terrascapes has built a reputation for delivering high-quality commercial landscape maintenance, landscape enhancements, irrigation services, and professional snow and ice management throughout Central Montana. We're proud of what we've built—but we believe the best is still ahead.
We're looking for someone who shares that vision.
This isn't simply a management position. As our Director of Operations, you'll become one of the key leaders of the company, working directly with ownership to build outstanding teams, improve operations, develop future leaders, and ensure every customer receives exceptional service.
If you're the type of leader who enjoys building people, improving systems, solving problems, and taking ownership of results, we'd like to talk with you.
You'll oversee nearly every aspect of our production operations, including:
- Commercial landscape maintenance
- Landscape enhancement and installation projects
- Irrigation service operations
- Snow and ice management
- Crew scheduling and workforce planning
- Hiring, onboarding, and employee development
- Quality control and jobsite inspections
- Equipment utilization and production efficiency
- Safety and operational compliance
- Continuous improvement of systems and processes
You'll work closely with ownership to establish priorities, build our team, and help guide the future direction of Terrascapes.
The right person won't simply keep crews moving.
They'll build a culture.
They'll develop employees who take pride in their work.
They'll create systems that make the company more efficient.
They'll notice problems before customers do.
They'll coach struggling employees while recognizing top performers.
They'll make Terrascapes better every year.
You are someone who naturally takes ownership.
People trust your judgment because you stay calm, organized, and focused when others become overwhelmed.
You understand that quality doesn't happen by accident—it comes from hiring the right people, setting clear expectations, providing consistent training, and holding everyone accountable.
You enjoy being in the field, talking with employees, visiting jobsites, and helping crews succeed just as much as you enjoy planning, organizing, and improving operations behind the scenes.
Most importantly, you genuinely care about building something you're proud of.
Ideal candidates will have experience in several of the following areas:
- Leadership experience managing multiple crews or departments
- Commercial landscape maintenance
- Landscape construction or enhancement projects
- Irrigation operations
- Snow and ice management
- Hiring, training, and developing employees
- Scheduling crews, equipment, and production resources
- Quality assurance and customer satisfaction
- Budget awareness and operational efficiency
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Computer proficiency and the ability to learn new software
- Valid driver's license
Equivalent leadership experience in closely related industries such as construction, utilities, public works, excavation, or facility services will also be considered.
We're not interested in simply filling a position.
We're looking for someone who wants to build a career and become an integral part of our leadership team.
You'll have the opportunity to make meaningful decisions, help shape the future of the company, build your own team, and create systems that have a lasting impact.
If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter and your leadership can truly make a difference, we'd love to meet you.
