Operations Manager - Commercial Landscape Maintenance

About the Role
At Turfscape, we lead by example. If you aren’t willing to work harder than the people you manage, this job isn’t for you.

The Operations Manager oversees field operations across three service hubs, including Jensen Beach and Fort Myers. You’ll lead a team of 40 employees and own the success of landscape maintenance for our commercial clients. That means service quality, crew performance, client satisfaction, and cost control.

You’ll spend much of your time in the field, driving between hubs and job sites throughout Florida to keep every crew on schedule and working to the same standard.

Team Leadership

• Lead, train, and develop 40 employees, including hub supervisors, crew leaders, and field staff.
• Hold teams accountable for productivity, quality, and safety while building a positive, performance-driven culture.
• Find and develop future leaders as the company grows.

Client Relationships

• Manage hub budgets, labor costs, and material spend, and track performance against targets.
• Oversee the use, maintenance, and tracking of company equipment, vehicles, and assets.

Safety, Compliance & Growth

• Enforce company policies, safety procedures, and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in landscape operations or a similar field leadership role.
• Proven experience managing multiple crews, supervisors, or locations at once.
• Strong knowledge of landscape maintenance, irrigation, plant material, and tree care.
• Experience with commercial landscape contracts. Municipal experience is a plus.
• Strong leader who can motivate a team, make sound decisions under pressure, and communicate clearly.
• Comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, and work-order or scheduling software.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) strongly preferred.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
