Landscape Production Manager

About the Role

Green Garden Landscaping is a Seattle-based landscape company providing full-service maintenance and installation for high-end residential clients. We take pride in quality craftsmanship, dependable service, and building long-term relationships with our clients and our crews.

The Production Manager bridges office planning and field execution — translating client scopes and project plans into clear daily direction for crews, and providing timely, accurate feedback to management on progress, issues, and resource needs.

Responsibilities

• Plan, schedule, and supervise daily operations for both maintenance routes and installation/construction projects, coordinating crew assignments, equipment, and materials.
• Oversee field crews, including crew leads, providing clear daily direction, on-site quality control, and hands-on problem-solving.
• Review project scopes, plans, and takeoffs to ensure crews understand the work order, materials list, and site-specific requirements before mobilizing.
• Monitor job progress against budgeted hours and timelines; flag scope changes, delays, or cost overruns to management promptly.
• Conduct regular site visits and quality inspections across both maintenance and installation work; address deficiencies before client walkthroughs.
• Serve as the primary field point of contact for clients during active installation projects, communicating progress and resolving on-site concerns.
• Manage equipment and vehicle fleet readiness — coordinating maintenance, repairs, and proper use across crews.
• Track and approve crew time, materials usage, and job costing data for accurate reporting back to operations and accounting.
• Recruit, train, mentor, and evaluate crew leads and field staff; support a culture of accountability, safety, and craftsmanship.
• Coordinate with the design, sales, and account management teams to ensure smooth handoff of new projects and consistent service delivery on existing accounts.
• Flexibility during peak season (spring–fall) for extended hours.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in landscape maintenance and/or landscape construction, including at least 1–2 years in a supervisory or crew-lead role.
• Working knowledge of both softscape and hardscape practices: plant health, plant material, irrigation systems, turf care, grading, and installation of paver patios, retaining walls, and planting beds.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple crews and job sites simultaneously in a fast-paced, seasonal environment.
• Strong organizational and communication skills; comfortable managing schedules, budgets, and client-facing conversations.
• Valid WA driver's license with a clean driving record; ability to operate or oversee operation of trucks, trailers, and standard landscape equipment.
• Pesticide/herbicide applicator license (WSDA) preferred, or willingness to obtain within 90 days of hire.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred.
• Proficiency with basic scheduling/job-costing software (e.g., LMN, Aspire, or similar) preferred.
