Position Requirements • Experience: 3+ years in landscape, hardscape, irrigation, or outdoor living installation, ideally including experience leading or managing a crew as a crew lead, site lead, or project manager. Lighting experience is a plus, not a requirement. • Location: Must be located within 20 miles of Burbank, CA. • Flexibility: Willing to occasionally work evenings and weekends to meet project timelines and client appointments. • Logistics: Must have a dedicated, insured vehicle and a valid driver's license with a clean driving record. • Language: Fluent in English (Spanish is a strong plus). • Background Check: Ability to pass a standard background check.
