• Operates, maintains, and troubleshoots landscaping equipment such as mowers, trimmers, blowers, skid steers, mini‑excavators, and irrigation tools, ensuring safe and effective use.
• Monitors and restocks materials (mulch, plants, seed, fertilizer, irrigation parts), tracks inventory levels, and assists with ordering to ensure crews have what they need daily.
• Follows and enforces OSHA regulations, PPE requirements, equipment safety protocols, and environmental standards to maintain a safe job site.
• Responds promptly to urgent site needs such as storm damage, irrigation failures, safety hazards, or after‑hours calls to protect client property and maintain service continuity.

• Valid driver’s license.
• Ability to obtain and maintain access to restricted or government properties.

Bonus If You Have These Skills:
