What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lawn Maintenance Foreman position at Yellow Hat Lawn & Landcape?
Lawn Maintenance (Co)Foreman
This specific position will have you assisting your primary foreman on larger properties that will require an operator with past-experience.
This position is intended to be an opportunity to get paid a fair wage to come and learn how we service properties and get trained up to be a primary foreman with a laborer in the future, which will earn you an additional $1.50- $4.50/hour more than the position you see listed here.
We are looking for a crew member that has past experience operating stand-on and/or sit-down zero turns at a commercial level, and is looking to come on board a growing company with opportunities to grow and work into higher-paying positions, and potentially to a position that no longer requires you to be in the field.
Expect to work 7 AM to 5/5:30 PM full-time (4 10-hour days) once you get settled in (overtime of 5-10 hours available during busy seasons if desired, we ask that all 5 weekdays are open and available in case of rain-delays or no-shows).
You will be working directly underneath an experienced foreman, and will spend time on equipment, learning how to properly operate the truck and trailer, and work on making sure the finer details of each property are kept up with- some days on your route will require string-trimming and physically-demanding tasks to help assist your primary foreman. If you are unwilling or incapable of willingly hopping off a piece of equipment, please do not apply.
Expect to be responsible for your punctuality, your equipment's condition, and the satisfaction of clients on your route. Drivers license and reliable transportation is a must. Lack of communication and/or punctuality will not be tolerated.
Benefits
-We have doubled or tripled in size every year for 4 years in a row. If you show up, improve, care about your properties/equipment/fellow employees, management positions with salary and full benefits will be available in winter months and future seasons. We will never be a dead-end if you want to keep growing, but you need to be willing to push yourself to learn and improve.
-Opportunities to step into sales, management, and design/build positions. As mentioned above, we are moving and growing quickly and have opportunities for you to get out of the field and into sales or management, if you’re willing to show up, take to heart instruction you're given, and seek to learn from other, more-experienced team members that you are working with.
-Selective hiring- you don’t want to deal with the drama, and neither do we. No business is perfect, ours included, but we are extremely selective about who we bring onto our team, so your workday can be accomplished professionally.
- Work with your hands, in the fresh air, making more than you would behind a desk.
- Positions available in the winter months, with salary positions available to select summer staff that choose to work over the winter.
Requirements
-Valid US driver's license
-18 years of age or older
-Reliable transportation
-Willingness to work hard and support fellow team members in the field
-Past lawn/landscape experience
