Landscape Project Technician - Irrigation, Planting & Landscape Installs


Yard Techs is hiring a Landscape Project Technician for residential landscape work across Southern California.

This is a hands on position for someone who likes working outdoors, staying active, solving problems, and seeing a job completed the right way. Our project technicians help with irrigation repairs, planting projects, landscape lighting, plant deliveries, clean installs, and other residential landscape improvement work.

This is not a mow-and-blow position, and it is not a temporary labor job. We are looking for someone who wants to build real landscape skills and grow with a company that has high standards.

What the Job Looks Like


Most days start early. You may drive a company truck or van to a residential property, nursery, supplier, or project site. Some days are focused on irrigation. Other days may involve planting, lighting, loading material, troubleshooting problems, or helping complete a full landscape improvement project.

You will be expected to work hard, move with purpose, keep tools and vehicles clean, follow instructions, and take pride in the finished result.

You may be trained to help with or complete:

  • Irrigation repairs and installations
  • Drip irrigation, PVC repairs, valves, sprinklers, and timers
  • Landscape lighting installation
  • Plant pick-ups, deliveries, and installations
  • Flats, shrubs, trees, and larger plant material
  • Basic landscape improvement projects
  • Loading and unloading tools, plants, soil, and materials
  • Driving company trucks and vans
  • Using blowers, string trimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, pole saws, and other landscape tools
  • Keeping jobsites, tools, and vehicles clean and organized

Who We Are Looking For
This job may be a good fit if you:

  • Like working outdoors
  • Are dependable and show up on time
  • Can work hard without needing constant reminders
  • Are comfortable lifting, loading, digging, and carrying materials
  • Can drive for extended periods when needed
  • Want to learn irrigation, planting, lighting, and project work
  • Can follow systems and take feedback
  • Can read English and complete training materials
  • Are comfortable with a background check and drug test

Pay and Benefits

  • Starting pay: $25.00 per hour and up, based on experience
  • Fast opportunities for raises based on performance
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Overtime opportunities
  • 401(k)
  • Gym membership
  • Company-paid uniforms
  • Quality tools provided
  • Paid time off
  • Paid sick days
  • Paid holidays

Schedule


Typical hours are around 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Some days may start as early as 5:00 AM or run later depending on weather, driving distance, project needs, or workload.

Why Work at Yard Techs?
At Yard Techs, good work gets noticed. We are looking for dependable people who want to improve, earn more, and become more valuable in the landscape industry.

You will not be stuck doing the exact same thing every day. You will learn real skills, work on residential properties, use quality tools, and be part of a company that expects clean, professional work.

Apply today if you are ready to work hard, learn, and grow with Yard Techs.
