Irrigation, Fertilization & Weed Control Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Sharp Landscape Designs LLC is expanding its commercial and HOA service capabilities throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties and is looking for experienced, properly licensed specialty professionals to collaborate with us on condominium communities, HOAs, and commercial properties.

You DO NOT need to be licensed in all three specialties.

We are willing to work with:

1. Irrigation Specialists
2. Fertilization Specialists
3. Herbicide / Weed-Control Specialists

These may be three completely separate professionals or companies .

If you are properly licensed and experienced in two or more categories , that will strengthen your candidacy and may create additional recurring work opportunities with Sharp Landscape Designs.

We are primarily looking for professionals who already operate in their specialty and are interested in building a long-term relationship as Sharp adds HOA and commercial accounts.

ROLE 1 — IRRIGATION SPECIALIST

We are seeking irrigation professionals who can inspect, diagnose, maintain, and repair commercial irrigation systems.

Responsibilities may include:

• Irrigation system inspections
• Diagnosing zones that are not operating correctly
• Sprinkler head replacement and adjustment
• Repairing broken heads, risers, piping, and fittings
• Valve troubleshooting and replacement
• Controller troubleshooting
• Identifying coverage deficiencies
• Locating leaks
• Repairing damaged irrigation lines
• System adjustments
• Documenting deficiencies and recommended repairs
• Providing estimates for larger irrigation repairs
• Communicating findings to Sharp Landscape Designs management

Irrigation Qualifications

Applicant must possess any applicable current contractor license or credential required for the work being performed and the jurisdiction where the property is located .

Examples may include:

• Broward County Irrigation Specialty Contractor credentials
• Miami-Dade Lawn Sprinkler Contractor credentials
• Other applicable Florida/local irrigation qualifications

Licenses must be active, current, and available for verification .

Applicants should understand that most properties will be located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties .

ROLE 2 — FERTILIZATION SPECIALIST

We are seeking qualified professionals to manage fertilizer applications for HOA and commercial turf and landscape areas.

Responsibilities may include:

• Scheduled turf fertilization
• Ornamental and landscape-bed fertilization
• Assessing nutrient requirements
• Selecting appropriate fertilizer products
• Applying fertilizer according to label directions and applicable regulations
• Maintaining treatment records
• Advising Sharp on seasonal fertilizer programs
• Identifying visible turf or plant-health concerns
• Providing service documentation after applications

Required Fertilizer Credentials

Applicants performing commercial fertilizer applications must hold a current:

Florida FDACS Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator Certification

and the required:

Green Industry Best Management Practices (GI-BMP) training/certificate

Florida requires certification for people making commercial fertilizer applications to urban turf or ornamental areas. Fertilizer certification alone does not authorize pesticide or herbicide applications . FDACS

Your certificate must be active and available for verification before work is assigned.

ROLE 3 — HERBICIDE / WEED-CONTROL SPECIALIST

We are separately seeking properly licensed professionals or companies capable of performing commercial weed-control and herbicide treatments.

Potential work includes:

• Turf weed control
• Landscape-bed weed treatment
• Ornamental weed treatment
• Sidewalk and curb weed treatment where legally permitted and label-compliant
• Spot herbicide applications
• Identification of recurring weed problems
• Treatment recommendations
• Product/application documentation
• Follow-up treatment when necessary

Required Herbicide / Pest-Control Credentials

Applicants must possess the appropriate current Florida credentials for the applications they perform .

This distinction is important:

A Florida Limited Commercial Landscape Maintenance certification may authorize certain pesticide applications to plant beds and ornamental plants , subject to its restrictions, but it does not authorize pesticide/herbicide applications to turf . FDACS

Professionals performing commercial turf weed-control/pesticide services should have the appropriate Florida Lawn & Ornamental pest-control credentials and operate through the required licensed pest-control business structure .

We are specifically looking for professionals who already understand these requirements and can demonstrate that they are legally authorized to perform the work they are offering.

YOU MAY APPLY FOR ONE, TWO, OR ALL THREE CATEGORIES

You do not need to perform all three services.

For example:

• If you are only a licensed irrigation contractor, we want to hear from you.
• If you only perform commercial fertilization, we want to hear from you.
• If your company specializes only in licensed turf and ornamental weed control, we want to hear from you.
• If you hold the qualifications to perform two or all three categories , please identify all of your credentials when applying.

Professionals with multiple relevant licenses/certifications may receive preference for larger HOA accounts because Sharp can coordinate fewer specialty vendors.

General Requirements for All Applicants

Candidates should have:

• Current licenses/certifications applicable to their specialty
• Physical or digital proof of credentials available immediately
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to travel throughout Broward and Miami-Dade Counties
• Professional appearance and communication
• Experience with commercial properties, HOAs, condominiums, or multifamily communities preferred

• Proper tools and equipment for the specialty being performed
• Valid driver's license

• Ability to communicate property deficiencies and recommended corrective action
• W-9 availability if working as a subcontractor
• Current insurance appropriate to the work being performed

IMPORTANT — CURRENT CREDENTIALS REQUIRED

We are not looking for applicants who plan to obtain licensing later .

If the work you are applying to perform legally requires a license or certification, you must already have it.

Be prepared to provide:

• License/certificate name
• License/certificate number
• Expiration date
• Issuing authority
• Copy of credential
• Certificate of Insurance where applicable

Sharp Landscape Designs will verify credentials before assigning regulated work.

Service Area

Most properties will be located throughout:
