We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Landscape Specialist & Snowplow Driver to join our team for year-round employment. This dual-role position requires a unique professional who transitions seamlessly between high-end seasonal property maintenance and demanding winter snow management.

• Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, work outdoors in extreme weather conditions (both summer heat and sub-zero winter storms), and work flexible, weather-dependent hours.
