Lawn Mowing & Landscape Crew Foreman
Job Summary
Mr. Lawn, Inc. is one of the newest and most rapidly growing lawn, landscape and snow removal company serving most of stark county. We have a fleet of four trucks, four trailers, 6 commercial mowers, and a plethora of other equipment serving over 100 weekly lawn mowing properties. Our fleet of equipment is extremely versatile giving us the ability to take on any kind job. Currently I am looking for a crew foreman capable of performing all tasks of a typical landscape business owner excluding administrative responsibilities such as scheduling, bidding, billing, payroll, ect. I will be in the field at all times helping and managing but my goal is to train someone and grow a team under that person so I can focus more of my time on sales and expanding.
Must have high school diploma or GED equivalent. Communication between crew members and customers is a big part of this role.
Responsibilities and Duties
Responsibilities will include arriving before your crew members to load trailer with equipment needed for that days work and going over schedule with me. All equipment is inspected before being loaded and at the end of the day. Must be able to drive a truck and trailer so valid drivers license with insurable driving record is essential. A background check will be done prior to employment (please disclose any charges on record). We use Toro and Skagg commercial zero turn and grandstand lawn mowers, STHL weed whackers and backpack blowers experience with this equipment is a must. Being able to operate a skid steer is beneficial but not a critical.
On a standard lawn mowing day we will load 2 trucks and trailers with all mowers and mow anywhere from 10-30 yards with 2-4 person crews so you will be in charge of at least one other person at all times reporting only to me throughout the day. On a standard mulching or other landscaping day we will load all equipment needed and be on-site until the job is done so hours do vary from day to day.
I am not known as a micro manager so this position will require you to make a lot of decisions throughout the day but I am always either on-site, nearby, or a phone call away. At the end of the day I want to remove myself from day-to-day operations completely so there is absolutely no ceiling to how much money this position can make with performance and sales bonuses.
