• Calculate labor hours, materials, equipment, and frequency of service to price jobs competitively and profitably.
• Present proposals to property managers, HOA boards, and homeowners, and follow up to close contracts.
• Serve as the account manager for assigned properties: conduct regular site inspections, address client concerns, and identify enhancement opportunities such as mulch, seasonal color, irrigation repairs, and plant replacements.
• Coordinate with crew leaders to make sure work is completed to contract specifications and client expectations.
• Manage contract renewals and maintain strong long-term client relationships.

Requirements

• Proven experience estimating landscape maintenance for commercial properties, HOA communities, and residential properties. This is required. Please describe your estimating experience in your application.

• Strong communication and customer service skills, including presenting to HOA boards and property managers.
• Valid driver’s license with a driving record that qualifies for our company insurance.

• Existing relationships with local property management companies or HOAs
