Job Description

Landscape or Mowing Crew Leader

This dynamic leadership role is designed for an experienced green-industry professional ready to guide a field team toward high-quality execution and maximum efficiency. Tasked with managing daily field operations for either a dedicated residential landscaping or lawn mowing crew, this position ensures properties are meticulously maintained while actively coaching crew members on proper techniques.

A faith-driven, family-oriented property services provider based in Pataskala, OH, this organization is deeply committed to operating with a servant’s heart and honoring its core values of integrity and excellence. Known for cultivating a rare, highly encouraging team culture where mistakes are treated as teaching moments rather than reprimands, they provide a stable "work family" environment alongside a diverse portfolio of services. Employees benefit from guaranteed, year-round employment through a seamless transition into a dedicated winter snow and ice management division.

• Hourly Wage: $20.00 - $26.00 per hour, commensurate with experience.

• Professional Development: Paid training and opportunities to earn industry certifications.
• Stability: Guaranteed year-round work with winter snow division placement.

Responsibilities

• Direct daily field operations for either a residential landscaping crew (focused on edging, mulching, pruning, plant installation, and seeding) or a high-production lawn mowing crew.
• Coach and mentor crew members on proper safety protocols, equipment operation, and landscaping techniques to foster professional growth.
• Ensure all services—including landscape maintenance, lawn care, tree/shrub care, and winter snow removal—are delivered with the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

• Demonstrated ability to multitask, problem-solve, and maintain high team morale under changing outdoor field conditions.
• Strong alignment with a collaborative, values-driven culture centered on integrity, quality, and mutual encouragement.
• Possession of a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
