What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operations Manager - Snow position at Yellowstone Landscape?
Snow operations don’t follow a predictable schedule. Weather changes, plans shift, and when a storm hits, our customers are counting on us to keep their properties safe and accessible.
That’s where our Operations Manager – Snow comes in.
This role helps lead our snow operation before, during, and after each event — coordinating people, equipment, subcontractors, properties, and changing conditions while keeping safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and profitability in focus.
Yellowstone Landscape is dedicated to excellence in commercial landscaping. As the largest privately-owned commercial landscaping company in the nation, we offer exciting career opportunities for Landscape Professionals across the United States.

What You’ll Do
We want you to know what this role really looks like.
Snow doesn’t follow a Monday-Friday schedule. During the winter season, nights, weekends, holidays, early mornings, and extended hours may be required depending on the weather.
This isn’t a desk-only job. You’ll travel between properties, inspect work in the field, and may need to drive in difficult winter conditions.
Plans change quickly. Forecasts shift, equipment breaks, subcontractors call out, and customer needs change. You’ll need to stay calm, adjust the plan, and make good decisions with a lot of moving pieces.
When a storm hits, the team depends on strong operational leadership — and you’ll have a direct impact on the safety of our customers’ properties and the success of the branch.
What Will Help You Succeed
Our properties are serviced safely and well. Customers stay informed. Crews and subcontractors know what is expected. Problems are addressed quickly. Equipment is ready. And each storm teaches us how to make the next one even better.
If you enjoy operational challenges, leading from the front, and being the person others can count on when things get busy, we’d love to talk with you.
